Application
This ignition switch is suitable for various Dodge WC series models from the Second World War, including the 3/4-ton 4x4 vehicles (WC-51, WC-52, WC-56, WC-57) with 6-volt system and closed cab models (WC-53, WC-54) with 12-volt system. Also applicable to early Dodge T-series, V-series and W-series lorries (1939-1947).
Installation notes
The switch is mounted on the dashboard or instrument panel. When turned to the ON position (clockwise), the battery is connected to the ignition circuit and the engine can be started. In the ON position, the fuel gauge also registers the fuel level. Ensure correct earthing - WC vehicles with 6-volt system operate with positive earth.
Compatibility
Please note: Dodge WC vehicles were produced with both 6-volt and 12-volt electrical systems. Most open cab weapons carriers (WC-51, WC-52) and command cars (WC-56, WC-57) have 6-volt, whilst closed cab models such as the WC-53 Carryall and WC-54 Ambulance often have 12-volt. Check your vehicle specifications for connection.
Historical context
The H700 key was used on many American military vehicles during WWII, including Willys MB/Ford GPW jeeps and Dodge WC series lorries. This enabled mutual interchangeability in the field.
