Lucas 3 position switch question

[twert1975]

Does anyone know how to wire a Lucas off/on/on switch for interior lights and dome light or side lamps and headlights? I had lights at first but then lost them due to a loose switch. Ordered a new one and still don't have lights. I have 12v coming to the switch but in the middle position there, none of the prongs on the back of the switch have power only in the second on position due I have 12v at one of the prongs.

Thanks for any info.

I almost felt guilty for thinking this when I first saw the post. It is the only LUCAS switch I know of.

My 3-way had a "smoke" setting in the middle. Though it stopped smoking just after my parking lights went dead. Weird.

Too funny, On a more serious note, I have replaced some or most of the original switches with waterproof switches from the local Maritime boat shop. They are a little more expensive and don't look anything like a Lucas switch, the ones I chose are just made a little better than a Lucas switch, but not original.

Pretty simple to set up! Just remember that the settings for a Lucas 3-position switch are Off, Dim, and Flickering. And Bob's your uncle
