Please let me know what you have! Thanks, Erik

Are you talking about the switch that is mounted center under the dash pad ?

 

It's located on the lower left of the dash between the wiper switch and steering wheel. I believe it was an option, not standard.

 

Pictures are worth 1000 words. He's referring to the bank of three switches in this photo. In this case, the left one is the convertible top, the center one is the power antenna, and the right one is the courtesy lights. Flipping it to ON turns on the two lights under the dash by your feet on the left and right sides of the car.




My guess is that these switches were of this design for 1967 only as little things like this tended to change in appearance from year to year to freshen the interior appearance with each new model year, so a replacement will likely have to come from another '67 full-size Olds.

 

Thanks Jaunty. My switch corroded on the back side and the terminals rotted off!

 

How does this happen? Did your car spend much of its life where high humidity is common? My car is just as old as yours, but if I peer up behind the dash at the backs of these switches, I see terminals and so forth that look like they could be new. Of course, for all I know, they were replaced at some point prior to when I bought the car in 2009, but I would tend to doubt it.

 

Well the switch I had was from a 68 Delta Custom for the rear defogger. Same style as your 67 switches though.

 

You're right. I take back what I said above about what other model years might be of help. Here's the dash on a '68 Delta 88, and while the ***** on the radio, headlights, and wiper switch are different, if you look carefully just to the left of the steering wheel directly below the left gauge cluster, there's one switch that looks just like the ones on a '67.




For 1969, though, things changed quite a bit. Here's the dash on a '69 Delta 88 convertible, and the wiper/washer switch is in the thin chrome strip above the heater control on the left side while the convertible top switch is about the same distance to other side of the steering column just below the fuel gauge cluster.

 

Well, if it has 2 prongs on the backside, and only switches in 1 direction, and you would like to sell it, I'm interested!

 

The car only has 76k on it, and came out of Santa Cruz, Cali....I believe it also may have spent some time in Dallas, as I found an ATM receipt under the rear seat from there. It made its way to NY 7 years ago....

 

Here's a picture of the dash of the 68 Delta I parted. You can see the defogger switch just to left & behind the tach.

 

If you still have the switch, let me know...

 

I'll check the switch tomorrow, but I would think it would be a two speed switch high & low.

 

I checked the switch, it's a 2 position switch, so it will not work for your needs.

 

Thanks for checking!

 

oldspackrat just posted he found a 67 Delta in a junk yard & it looks like it has the switch you are looking for. PM him or check out his posting.

 

Thanks for looking out! Will do!

 

TTT. This switch would be the same for '67 and '68. Also from a delta 88, Delmont , or 98....
