    Welcome. If you turn your own wrenches, the 1952 shop manual is on-line here on the forum. Very, very little difference between 1952 and 1953.

    20-30 years ago, I took my high beam switch apart and cleaned it. This was in a '52 Super. It wasn't hard at all. Just needed to clean up the contacts.
