Guitplayer - His first post shows basically the opposite of what the owners manual said:
I'm working on a '53 3800 pickup. Original wiring mostly gone long ago. I have put in a new wiring harness, and new headlight switch. The way i have it wired, when you pull out the headlight switch to the first poistion the headlights are on, taillights are on, and front parking lights off. 2nd position leaves the taillights on, shuts the headlights off, and turns the front parking lights on. Is this correct?
Your response to his first post said:
Your latest reply states the order of switch position and light function differently than his originally reported condition:
If this is right thats what I said and what the OP said.
when the switch is pulled out to the 1st On. park lamps and taillights On.
when the switch is pulled out to the last position the headlamps and taillights are lighted.
Never are the headlamps and park lamps on at the same time. Thats what the owner's manual says.
Which is why I replied "NO..." after your "Yes" reply
I think we've established the correct switch position and light functions. Up to Pa Farmer to get his wiring corrected to achieve the same function on his truck, which he seems to have figured out how to do.
Pa Farmer - Let us know how the rewiring goes please.
