The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay help with headlight switch

Fella's thanks for links to wire diagrams and pix sent. I have my switch hooked up right now, 'cept the gauge lighting. They do work off a tail terminal, yet won't work off the rheostat terminal to dim which is connected to the same tail terminal with a metal link on switch. What gives with that? Should I be lubing or cleaning the rheostat? Still trying to figure out some of wiring out of this truck, next is getting the tail/turn lights to work. What a mess, new and old wires, few colors, and never right ones as shown in diagrams. Old cloth wires all look alike, can't tell colors on them anymore!
