Hoping someone can identify what I have. Heater switch shows Mfg. Aetna Pollak, I see no part #. I have found a similar looking switch for 46-49 Ford/Merc. There is a single wire going to the heater unit, which does run when power applied. The switch seems to have 4 positions when turned clockwise.
Can someone provide wiring schematic?
I will try to add some pictures.
Another interesting point, this car has a cigarette lighter, but no ashtray.
Thanks for any help, Tom

16 gage black wire was attached to the back of the ignition switch to the heater Same type of wire from switch to heater.
The same switch was used in 1938 but more of a gray/ivory color and 1937 switch a little different and a speckeled brown color,
The switch mounts to the lip of the instrument panel and faces downward,
The defroster and fog light switch look like the heater switch and the lip of the dash had 3 holes for there attachment.

Sorry that I could not come up with the Town and Country horn other that the main wire went from the starter switch /battery cable post to the horn and was a black 10 gage wire and wire was attached to the
S terminal on the horn relay.

The Master Deluxe had an ash tray in the center but it was removed when the radion was installed as the radio used the oprning.

The lighter was a dealer installed accessory.
There was an accessory under dash ash tray available but no one ever cares as they would flip the cigertte out of the vent window.

Thanks for the info Gene, Are you saying the switch I sent pictures of is the correct switch? This car has neither ash tray or radio. Thanks for the horn info.

That switch is very inncorrect.

The Master 85 had no ash tray - just a plate to remover if a radio was installed.

I do have an ash tray sei up from my Master Deluxe left over when a radio was installed.

What do you have in the center of the dash?

Just a plate where the radio should go I believe.

Is it a Canadian car? For sure it is a Master Deluxe? Has coil spring front suspension?
