Headlight switch/fusebox

Trying to finish the lights on my 62 F100. Everything worked fine. I changed the dash to a modern gauge. I wired the dash lights into the cigarette lighter. The headlights work on dim and bright. The park lights come on with the 1st notch on the switch but go out when I hit the 2nd notch. I'm not sure where the problem is but I got a new switch because the one on there is the original and works, but poorly. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts and I'm looking fir a labeled schematic of the fuse box on the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ty

Probably need to run a jumper on the new switch Check out this Fordification thread. It's for a 67, but works for a slick, too:

Park lights aren’t supposed to be on with the headlights.

My dad had a 66 F100. I always thought his were on. I dont remember though. I just figured since mine weren't on, something was wrong but I didn't change that wiring. Well, guess I have options now 😆 ty Cargo

The earlier trucks were wired so that the park lights went off when the switch was pulled out to the second click.

My 64 works this way and they become the turn signals/emergency flashers.

Yeah, I didn't like mine being off, either. I could see the cops pulling me over for it. I ran that little jumper and I like it much better.

Headlight switch fuse holder

Hi guys hope I'm doing this right in not very good at using a forum so I apologize if I'm in the wrong. I have a 62 f100 4x4 and I've been having a hell of a time trying to find the fuse holder that clips on to the back of the headlight switch. Mine has gotten so old and weathered that it's fallen apart and in order to put things to OEM use I need this part old or new but at least I'm good working order. Any ideas would be gratefully taken. Thank you so much!

Your best bet is to try and find a good used wire loom. The fuse block is part of the dash loom. A new loom from Dennis Carpenter is $1,000.

The Ford replacement main under dash wiring harnesses didn't come with the fuse block but they did sell it separately. Part number changed across the years but for a 1960-1962 B-F100/600 they specify a

C2AZ-11A647-A - BLOCK - HEAD LAMP SWITCH JUNCTION

Some on eBay.
