My '69 300 convertible has a 4 prong dimmer switch but they appear no longer made. Will a 3 prong work?

Hi J,
Just for clarity: are you talking about the foot dimmer for the headlights or the dash panel thumbwheel dimmer?
Thanks
I looked at the schematic and I don't think it will without a bunch of rewiring. Part # is 2661835
Here's a (gulp) replacement. PN 2661835 headlight dipper switch for 1966 Plymouth Fury; Dodge Monaco - Polara; Chrysler and Imperial with Sentinal automatic headlight dimming option
Try a few different NOS dealers, but it's not gonna be cheap.

Damn, $54 at Brad's versus $250 at the other seller. Go Brad!
Found one online for $60. Also fits lincolns
Not the right one
Ah. That looks like a 3 prong as I look closer. The photo is blurry for sure. Not much better in my lap top.
You know.. Now that I think of it, there was another thread about this and IIRC, it was a Ford/Lincoln fitment too.
Now I gotta look....
If i reported you sorry. I hit wrong button with my tremors
I was on wrong comment other day. I found a lincoln 4 wire for $10 a friend had. I also found a relay for headlights with sentinal lights for $60. They said it was for a 70's lincoln
Big John: The reason that $250 switch is so expensive, is because it is a "dipper switch". Now those dimmer switches can be had around fairly easily for less than $75, but the "dipper" is another animal altogether and a rare beast indeed!
I think the entire system is shared with Ford/Lincoln. I've looked at other stuff, like power antennas and power windows, that use very similar bits and pieces in the Fords.
Ahh... I see the difference now.

In British literature lheadlights are "dipped" not "dimmed". Thier cars are equipped with "Left dip" lights for use in England, and "right dip" for export. British motor cycles had "vertical dip" lights. Just some trivia from experience with Austins and Triumph bikes. Lindsay
