M38a1 light control switch

[lmgoldstein]

I have a '52 M38a1. I am rewiring it from scratch. I have the light switch wired where "F" is hot coming in from the battery. Cool, no problem. Well, one. The panel light switch should be energized through pin "B". So, with the main switch in the service position, the panel lights should be energized which means "B" should be hot going out to the panel lights....it isn't. The connections are correct, but "B" is not energized. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The obvious, you did raise the left bottom "panel lights" switch up to power the panel lights?

Did that.

Bad 3 lever switch.
