1965 convertible instrument light problem

[sokody]

I replaced my light switch with a new oem ford light switch and instrument lights still don’t work
No lights on wipers or key and when I put in the new light switch my courtesy lights won’t go on
I put the old switch back in and the courtesy lights work but no instrument lights
Can anyone help?

There is a fuse at the back end of the switch for the courtesy lights
The rheostat on the front end of the switch assembly is for the instrument lights
Perhaps the fuse is missing or blown
And the contacts of the rheostat are corroded or just making poor contact

I put a new light switch in
And the fuse in fuse box is good
