Re: Couple "loose ends"! 65 hardtop

I am looking for that 30 second switch under the dash but have not been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where it is located under the dash?

Two step forward one step back

I am always amazed at the workings of the Thunderbird. I have a 1966 Thunderbird Hardtop with AC (not connected) and somehow something always shows up as a problem.
