I know this topic has been here before, but I did a search and couldn't find the relevant info so here it goes here:
A couple of years ago my headlight switch started acting up, I'd pull it apart and put it back together, it would work for a couple of days/weeks then when I'm driving down the freeway no more headlights. I looked for a proper replacement and there were none to be found that weren't ridiculously over the top expensive. I got pissed and ripped the thing out and wired up a cheese Daystar light switch and carried on.
Finally stumbled across one that looked right and horse traded some parts and cash for it, it sat for a couple of months while my truck was down and last night I ripped out the cheesy switch without looking at what was what, plugged it in and VIOLA! It doesn't work properly. The first setting gives me headlights and cluster (dimmer works) and the second gives me….. everything else. Needless to say I am pretty bummed.
I called SOR today and came to the conclusion that I have a 73-77 (I think?) switch and that the wiring was different.
Does anyone have a diagram of a pre 77 AND a 79-82 that I can compare so that I can wire up some pigtails and get this thing working? The switch I got is a nice piece and I don't want to have to rewire that cheesy switch. If no diagrams is anyone familiar enough with that headlight harness to be able to tell me what I'll have to cross to make the thing work right? All of the parts are there, and I know I can figure it out again, like a dumbass I tore the wires out from the cheesy switch and have since forgotten what was what and I'd like to skip the hassle of learning the whole thing again. Any help would be appreciated!
