Application
This push-pull switch was fitted to early to mid-production jeeps (circa 1941-1944) with push-pull type main light switch. Late production models received a rotary switch instead of this push-pull type. Check which type of switch was originally fitted to your vehicle.
Installation notes
The switch is mounted in the instrument panel with a locking nut. Connect the wiring according to technical manual TM 9-803, ensuring the correct terminals are identified. Note: different manufacturers may have terminals in different positions — connect to the marked connections, not by position. Disconnect battery before fitting.
Compatibility
NOT compatible with late production models that have a rotary main light switch. Check whether your vehicle originally had a push-pull or rotary switch — these are not interchangeable without modification to the wiring.
Historical context
The push-pull main light switch was used on early WWII production until mid-1944, after which production changed to a simpler rotary switch type. This push-pull type was part of the early 6V electrical system with radio filter beneath the dashboard.
