Have a switch from ceiling light cat # 573, very old. When you turn knob on bottom of light once, 3 bulbs come on, turn a second time all 5 come on and turn a third time they go off. Can this switch be replaced or do I just need to replaace light fixture? Thanks, Roberto'

Step 1 Turn off the shower light at the light switch.
Step 2 Place a rug with a rubber backing in the shower stall for secure footing. Place the step stool on top of the rug.
Step 3 Insert a plastic putty knife between the outside rim of the light fixture and the ceiling. Be careful not to scrape the finish off the ceiling when inserting the blade.
Step 4 Pry the fixture cover away from the ceiling with the putty knife. The fixture cover includes a translucent plastic lens within a metal rim. The cover is held in place by torsion springs, so it will be resistant to release. Apply careful pressure until the cover pops off.
Step 5 Remove the old light bulb, and replace it with a similar bulb.
Step 6 Press the cover back in place. The torsion springs will click into place when you press the cover into the ceiling.

1. Check the wattage of the bulb. you may have fitted a higher, dense filament bulb.
2. The Switch - if you have a dial type knob on the switch, turn that higher to see if the light brightens.

Hear is how you remove the old ford switch assemblys, there is a spring loaded latch keeping it secure to the trim panel, follow these instructions:
To remove the headlight switch:

1. Turn the headlights to on and pull the knob out like are turning on the fog lights.

2.Then look at the bottom of the knob, you should see a very small opening.

3. Insert a very thin tool like a mini screwdriver into this opening, and that should push in a tang and release the knob.

4. Rotate the knob 180 degrees and reinstall it. The bottom of the knob should now be pointing at the headlights on position

5. Now, turn the knob counter-clockwise like you're turning the lights off and push the knob making sure it is seated.

6. Turn the knob back to the headlights on position. This is what releases the tab and the entire switch assembly from the dash.

7. Pull the assembly to remove it.

I found the articles on Harbor Breeze helpful for solving remote control problems. You can also check out the video below as well. I found the articles on Harbor Breeze Accessories helpful for solving remote control problems. You can also check out the video below as well.

1st common area is trailer wiring,2nd is shorted bulb,3rd is corroded/damaged wiring.Replace fuse with circuit breaker which fits in fuse position and first check for a bulb that's out and shorted,shake and move any trailer wiring,if that didn't find a problem,temporarily install a signal light flasher into the tail light fuse connections and slide a compass along wiring and compass will flick/change reading as the flasher flashes until you hit the shorted area.(an old trick to fine a short)

THERE IS A SERVICE BULLITIN FROM PANASONIC TO REPAIRE THE BALLAST YOU MUST GO TO A PANASONIC SERVICE CENTER

If there are no visible screws and no knob in the middle of the grate to unscrew you have a model which simply pulls down. If it has been up there for a while it may have been painted over so you will have to use a razor blade knife to cut through the paint around the perimeter. Once that is done, use a putty knife to carefully pry the grate away from the ceiling about one inch at a time, working your way around from side to side.

Yupe, you need new lamp. Ouch.

1. Check electricity is on.
2. Check oil is in the tank and valve turned on.
3. Switch the fan off at the bottom left hand corner.
4. Switch oil knob to No.1.
5. Set Air knob to No.3.
6. Operate re set button (right hand corner of heater under settings dial). Either press in until it clicks or if the pull out version pull out until it clicks.

Wait - ignition should take place in a few minutes and flames will appear on the left of the burner under the radiants.

You should get occasional yellow crests above the pure blue flame just visible below the top row of burner holes under the radiants.

After the red warning light goes out you can adjust to higher settings.

The radiants do not glow on low setting.

You can adjust the heater on to higher settings but this should be done gradually - no more than 2 settings at a time.

Some warnings:

* The unit must be correctly earthed.
* Do not use anything except heater oil.
* Never attempt to re-light the heater when it is hot.
* If the red light does not appear when the oil knob is switched on, immediately turn the oil knob off. Reasons include: Heater is too hot; Electric plug turned off; failure of ignition system.

Good luck - no responsibility taken for the advice (but it is largely copied from my Vulcan heaters instruction manual which I still have (installed in 1967).

Sounds like the remote receiver units (located where the mains connect to the fans) took a surge and have failed.
