Greetings all, I have an M38A1 CDN that is missing the lever that locks and unlocks the other two switch levers. If anyone has a spare that they are willing to part with, would you please contact me?..thanks so much, Rick.
Rick,
If you haven't found one yet what is the model or part number off your switch assembly? _________________ Wes K

Wes, I haven't found one yet, I'll get the number off the switch tomorrow, (Sun)...thanks, Rick. BTW...I got my hands on a TM 9-8014 (1954) and a TM9-8015-2 (1954) originals from the good ol' USA. That will help me with the work ahead.... good luck with your new digs.

Well, took the light switch out of the jeep today. It appears it's not as simple as putting on a new or replacement lever. The stem that goes into the switch is also broken. I suppose I would need a new whole switch, or attempt to separate the switch I have and attempt to replace the stem, then install a replacement lever. The ordinance number for my switch is ORD.NO.7368702 UCINITE 160306. If anyone could help me with parts or a replacement switch, would you be kind enough to contact me?...thanks guys, Rick.
You might check with Star Electric as they have a lot of parts for M series vehicles.
You also may want to check with Bizal at Midwest Military, Army Jeep Parts, Peter DeBella.
The Ucinite was the last type of light switch used from the factory on late M38 jeeps. They were also used on a lot of other M series vehicles and should be easy to find a repalcement NOS switch.
I hope this helps you out. _________________ Ryan Miller
