Are the switches in the door jam okay???

I had a similar problem. My dimmer control is a box the size of a cigarette pack plugged into the fuse panel. I unplugged the box and my interior lights worked....they no longer dimmer though...

Before you buy new switches, remove the old ones and clean them. I made the mistake of buying one and then was able to save the old one just by cleaning it with a small wire brush.

Granted a new switch was $5 or so but I did not like the new one since it had a plastic tip and I am sure that the factory did not use those in 1975.
