Headlight taillight issues

[garageman1965]

I have a ‘68 Newport and I have to wiggle the switch to get parking lights to work, and when turned to headlights they headlights come on but all the taillights and marker lights go off. Switch is bad? Or is there other issues???

Could be the switch or you could have a grounding issue. The switch is fairly cheap and easy to replace as a first step before you have to trace out a possible bad ground.

You have to wiggle the switch? Is the plug falling off the switch?
If the plug's on all the way and the pins aren't loose, try a new switch.

COULD be turn signal switch. After replacing mine several light gremlins disappeared. Including funky headlight switch issues like yours.

Well I was thinking the switch but they are not cheap if you can find one. It’s a toggle type switch not the standard pull type.

You will need a switch.
Second option is get yours or another switch rebuilt.
Toggle switches are rebuildable and I have a source that does that.
Contact them and tell them I sent ya!!
