Your bj42 is 24v but the headlight are 12v , they take 12v between the two battery , maybe good to look there

Actually it draws off of one battery and the rest of the bulbs are all 24v, I think it may be the switch on the dash but its a bugger to get at..

All I know is the head lights are 12, I am assuming the wires off that switch would be 24 volt to two seperate relays? One being the 12 volt head lights and the other for running lights.

Headlamps on 24V Vehicle
Can someone with a 24V truck (60 or 70 Series) enlighten me on whether the headlamp / headlamp circuit is 12V or 24V?

BJ42 Headlight Wiring (24 Volt System)
I just bought a 1983 BJ42 that has an electrical gremlin running around in it. It has the 24 volt system. Left headlight turns itself on whenever it want(usually after hitting a bump), with switch TURNED OFF. Was hoping someone would have a wiring schematic for the headlight circuit that I...

what about when the switch is pulled all the way out?

Not from the factory when they were sold to Canada, owners have been known to change out the wiring and run the 24 volt head lights. I owned a cruiser company for many years and never seen 24 head lights in the bj42.
Still no running lights, I will pull the switch off the days and check it this weekend with a ohm test.
- the PARKING first PULL step WILL be on a stand alone FUSE
- the HEAD LAMPS 2nd PULL WILL be on a 2nd stand alone FUSE
each fuse is 100% independent of each other
this IS a 24V head Lamps switch w/ lighted knob 84112-60030
- if a 12V switch ? several variations can be in place
the 24V example one here :
these are SUPER RARE ...
- i have a few pre-owned nice ones restored , and available if u need one
- NO , my NOS specimens collection one below is NOT for sale ,
thanks

Makes sense, so I blinkers and brake lights work, running lights are a separate fuse to be clear? I was going to check continuity not ohms..haaa
Just found the fuse that looked good but was not, for some reason the fuse in that location was a 20 amp fuse and the cover shows a 15 amp fuse. Wonder if the po had some issues and bumped up the fuse. I will try the 15 amp and see how it lasts.
Much thanks for all the help, not much on mud anymore.
