Foot Clicker Dimmer: Taking one Apart

[@hotrodswoodshed7405]

My dimmer, from speedway motors wiring kit, blew apart after 6 months of use. This was a informative video... with a funny overtone. Good watch

[@buddyletendre]

Nice video. Spent many an afternoon pulling stuff apart with my pops in the spirit of “not just saving money, but learning something” $1 box lots at the auction sure held a lot more valuable lessons.

I save all my old parts too, for whatever reason. If for nothing else, they'll serve as ballast in a wind storm. You know, keep the barn from blowing away. I've done exploratory surgery on starter solenoids, there's a nice spool of copper wire in them. Most times, the contacts just need a cleaning and a little dielectric grease . Keep'm coming!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks! Yeah, you never know when you might just need a part of something to salvage too.

My ol Ford F100 still has this switch...Been working for over 40 years

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Yup, my '88 f150 still has it too.

[@audiquattro6768]

Awesome to know how it works! I was getting worried you’d never come back, been craving a good Toocheaptosmoke video. Cheers!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks! I've been busy this fall, with grass drags, work, and other projects. Also got a new computer and been trying to use a different editing software, but I'm still not proficient with it.

Went on youtube looking for kill switch ideas and I remembered my dad using one of these under the carpet under the break pedal in his 1971 Monte Carlo. I don’t think it’s a typical location. Not a bad idea

Hey Generation Z and Millennials, this is what peak male performance looks like. Great Eff-in video sir! We learn something and next slam your foot when someone is blinding you!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

@@toocheaptosmoke next you will be in the garage sorting hardware. thats my winter guilty pleasure when im bored. oh and add me to the list 76 impala (my second car)

Awesome. Wonder if this is why at times my high beams will work and other times it won't. Perhaps the internals are broken. Mine dimmer switch has 4 terminals. Yellow wire, lt grn wire, tan wire and a dk grn color. My car has the auto dimming which is what the 4 terminal is for (dk grn wire) time to take it apart and see.
