Headlight Switch

Now have all lights working with exception of instrument panel and right hand side above the glove box. Where the word OLSDMOBILE is. Do you think replacing the headlight switch will correct this? Or any other suggestions. I have replaced all the lights and connectors behind the instrument panel. Thanks

Headlight switch

Forgot to mention it is a 1962 Starfire. Senior moments are getting more frequent.

Your panel lights could be out because of a bad rheostat in the headlight switch, or maybe because of a bad fuse.

I'd disconnect the wire from the headlight switch and connect it to a 12V source, and if the lights come on, the problem is in the switch.
