It seems the old fox body has another common problem...hardly anybody's maplight works and are hard to find. Any ideas on where to get a working maplight? I believe mine is the pressure switch is broken.
I'm guessing the plastic plate that holds the spring is what broke? I was able to fix one of mine that broke with super glue and epoxy. It's still holding together after a lot of years.
You can usually find a decent selection of map lights on eBay.
Yep they seem to break easily. At last count, I have two broken ones still mounted in cars, and at least 3 or 4 others laying around. I may even have a good one.
I can see where they break, but I just have not gotten around to trying to fix one yet.
When you find a good one my suggestion would be to reinforce the weak plastic area with epoxy or JB Weld. It should prevent future breakage and hassle. I don't use mine very much, but I haven't had a problem since the repair.
Most common problem is the internals corrode. You have to take them apart, sand down the connections and then "solder" it back together with a soldering iron
