Well, well. While I was at work a couple hours ago, I was looking at my wiring and trying to make sense of the relay (your tax dollars hard at work - on my truck!).
I pulled the ground connection I made up at the original headlight junction by the horn relay to look for corrosion. Looked good so I hooked it back up. That was the only thing I disconnected and then re-seated. Got in to drive home, hit the light switch and the amp gauge barely moved. Was good all the way home. Guess maybe I need to clean the ground connection. Lights are still a little dim and always have been.
OldSub,
my headlights are stock and the wire that came with the switch is about 16-18 gauge. The fuse is a 15 amp.
Should I rewire with a 12 gauge for brighter lights and if so, would only the power wire to battery need to be changed to 12? Or should the wiring going out to headlights be changed as well?
Gord,
Seems like the battery's got plenty of juice and there's not much in the way of cold weather here. I've been away from cold weather so long I'd forgotten how it affects batteries though. Hey by the way, you had any Kilkenny lately? I've tried to find it here but, nobody's got it. If you ever happen to see Karl Strauss "Red Trolley Ale", pick it up. I think if you like Kilkenny, you'll like the Red Trolley.
