Here's one for the brains trust.

Can anyone tell me what this switch is out of..?

It appears to be a wiper switch going by the connectors. but I could be wrong.

Early 70's Ford.....? It's not Cortina, Escort or Capri as it looks a little different.

Anyone..?

Looks like a Falcon switch (XA/B/C).

Light switch. Famous for arcing on the contacts and going out with no warning. Made for fun motoring especially on dark dirt roads...

I'm fairly sure it would be a wiper switch due to the 4 connector pins.

I believe the headlamp/park light switches were 3 pin.
