....back in the saddle again....
I'm trying to get my hibeam indicator to work correctly, but it has been a challenge so far.
The truck has a history of not-quite-right wiring, so let's not assume that anything is done correctly.
First: the high and low beams work correctly. Outer, low beams are on all the time, inner, high beams come on when the switch is pulled or pushed.
These are USA style aero lamps, by the way, not the h4/h1 setup.
Here is the thing: I found the red/yellow wire that goes to B2 on the cluster, and could see where it had been snipped. So I thought "easy!" and connected it to the yellow/red wire that is in the wiring harness. That didn't work! When connected light that- I get the indicator when the switch is in "low" but the high beams stay on all the time.
So I got out the Voltmeter, and as near as I can tell the red/yellow wire is more of a low-beam indicator. It has 12v when the low beams are on, 0v when the high beams are on. But if I ground it, the high beams come on.
So.... Help! Any ideas? Is there another spot where I can tap into the high beam lights to make the indicator light up?
