31 dome light questions

Post by Franklin »

my march 31 has two wires going up the right A piller I'm assuming it went to a dome light. The picture shows a vacume line for the wiper motor & on the left A piller there was one wire going somewhere, I don't know where it goes to. My wiper motor was a after market vacume style. Is it possible my 31 closed cab had a dome light? Also where would the switch be & what did it look like? All the escutcheons in the cab are deluxe style but the handles are not. Franklin

Never saw a dome light in a pick up cab. My Victoria has one and it is operated by a on off switch on the passenger side B pillar if I remember. I suspect what you have is an aftermarket attempt to put some light in the cab.

Could it have been wiring for clearance lites? That's what I'm planning to do. Bob E.

In 1935 a law was passed requiring cab roof lights in some states
