wiring for 8N

[swhockett]

On my 52 8N my lights quit working. There is current 6V at the terminal block but no current at the switch itself. The wire from terminal block to switch has a cylindrical block midway in the wire that is about 1" in length. I'm assuming it serves as a resistor but I can't find any information showing such an item. I'm assuming it has failed and doesn't allow current to reach the switch. I need a little help.

That round cylindrical piece that you see while not original is a fuse holder. Unscrew the 2 halves of it and you will find a cylindrical glass fuse in it. I would bet the fuse is blown. I hope this info helps.
