Cub headlight switch ?

Posted by Andy Engel on October 29, 2005 at 14:30:54 from (205.188.117.73):

Hi folks. I've got a '52 Cub, and today I was installing a new wiring harness. That's going well enough, but I found another problem. On the back of the headlight switch, there are 5 terminals. One comes from the battery, one goes to the headlights, one goes to the backlight, and one goes to the tail lights.

It's the fifth terminal that puzzles me. What looks to be some kind of resistor jumps between that terminal and the headlight terminal. It's a coil of wire, and it once was insulated. Half the insulation is gone, and it's broken. What is this thing, and is there a quick fix for it?

Thanks much,

Andy
