Vintage Wiring of Maine, Jeff Smith MV sales and you can try running the Bendix numbers thru each MV and MIL Surplus vendor on the cance they have some undiscovered stocks lying around. The large plug is still used today for the modern switches. The smaller plug is probably also still around under some new Amphenol or such part number. Unless you are ruunning the separate trailer harness per the very early M38 you can get by without the small plug.

I have a spare plug cut from a rotten harness that plugs to the
light switch on the rt..

i'll get a photo of the plug if you're interested.

The plug for the switch on the far right is the same plug used on both the left and center switches' right side.

while we are on the topic of switches - where can I find a pin-out wiring diagram for the single 12 pin light switch?

Always peruse my photo album when looking for informative reference photos.

I found the diagram, but

This is good - Wes's diagram, but looking at the switch from the back putting the connector lineup tab at 6 o'clock does anyone have the pin numbers (letters)? - I can't read the embossing even with a glass - at least now I know if I can find F that is battery. If this switch is good, if I find F, I can meter it out (find the head light and marker light pins).

Thanks Wes - I just didn't go through them to the end - photo #29 is just what I needed
A wealth of electrical info there - everyone should run the slide show if there is any question on lighting
Now I will see what else is in the photos section - I was thinking it was only photos

I had over a thousand technical reference photos loaded for about 5 years on "Mypicgallery.com" and the photo host web site just dropped off the air overnight last year. I have been slowly rebuilding on our photo album page. The answer to 70 or 80 % of most questions asked here are answerable in my photo album.
