solving the headlight problem

PKRWUD · 08-10-2001, 02:02 PM

I just spent 45 minutes going over them. I'm ASE Certified in automotive electrical/electronic systems, and I found them to be pretty confusing too! The complexity lies with the fact that there are so many things controlled, and there is alot more to the lighting system than you might realize. You have the headlights, high beams, corner lamps (with and without the headlights), dash lights (powered by the switch, but controlled by a rheostat), the tail lights, the dome and courtesy lamps (powered by both the rheostat switch and the door switches, and controlled by both the rheostat and the door switch, with the door switch over-riding any control from the rheostat), as well as an indicator for the high beams and a warning chime in case the headlights are left on, all run through 6 fused circuits using 5 fuses.

And you say Moroso has a panel for this?

You need to decide specifically what you want to do, and which switch panel you are going to use. Send me a schematic of the switch panel you are going to use, along with your intents, and I'll see if I can put together some do-it-yourself instructions for you.

Take care
