CUCV light switch

[rfischba1]

Tried to turn my lights on my M1009 while the truck was ideling, nothing?
How does the black out/service light switch operate, the manual say pull it out and up? I did not pull it out only filpped it to on for service lights, then pulled out head light switch, nothing, I hope I was doing something wrong and its not a major electrical problem, Truck runs smooth, batteries are strong.
Any suggestions?

It should not move up unless you pull the switch out to disengage the lock. Pull out the right hand B/O light switch and move it up. It should stay in the up position. Then check your lights. You can turn a turn signal on so that when the switch works, the signal will start to flash.

Later,
Joe

That shounds like this problem, I did not correctly flip the right swithes, I didn't pull out , and did not touch the BO drive switch. I'll try your suggestion and let you know how I made out, Very unlikely all lights are inoperable.
Thanks

It's easy to bump the switch while doing other things. Sounds like a simple solution.

If the three lever light switch as standard from 1950 had been used there would be no problem.

If the Gov't had specified it, it would have been there. Dang Gov't.
