G'day from Sydney Australia

The fuse block in my fully imported US built 1964 Fairlane 500 strangely, is integrated into the headlamp switch. Changing fuses is a pain and now the switch has gone wacky, I'm having big trouble finding an exact replacement. The usual replacement C4DZ11654-A or (DS134) switch only has "Fast-On" type tab connectors (no fuses).

Has anyone seen this rare style of fuseblock-integrated headlamp switch ? If so, can you tell me what the actual Ford or Aftermarket part number is and where I can get one from in the US ?

Thanks a ton

Thanks kindly for your advice. You're dead right, it makes sense to update to the later model separate switch and fuseblock setup anyway.

Cheers !

i do have an extra`one, but, i would suggest you grab a late 70's fuse box or got to painless for a updated box
a good site to totally update your F;lane wiring is
www.madelectrical.com
Mark has a few fords & has some great kits to make your F';lane work 100% better
the first kit to get is his basic re-wiring under the hood kit which is really easy for brighter headlights, dash lights & better charging
