In the photos below you can see the newest type main light switch. Pushbotton electronic. Can the owners of the M38's in these photos at Weare this year advise us how well the new switch works? Also it looks like the main ignition switch is off yet the pilot light on the switch seems to be on in photo 2??

the would be Larry's jeep (M38MC) He stated that it works very well. Yes the light stays on a short time after somone presses the buttons

After replacing the light switch "3" times because people don't undersand how the 3 lever lamp switch works , I went got a newer one. NO mods needed for the New style switch Just follow directions and hook up external groundthat is supplied with a complete switch.
It was also good to met Hal from OKA and see Rick l and Bill F and all the other M38 owners

Thanks for the notes. I've been waiting for a realisticly priced example of that new style switch to follow me home. I get along fine with the 3 lever switch which I happen to have a couple of dozen.

Apparently someone at the Weare show played around with my switch, 'cause the lock lever is broken.

Rick,
That really sucks. I did notice that my switch has a lot of play in it now. time to find one like Larry's
