My 12v light switch has terminlas (battery, lights, taillights, parking lights).
All the directions I have are for a 38 12v harness which i was told is the same for a 39 refer to the light switch termainals as term H, term S, term R...can anyone convert that?
Is H "headlight"
Is S "stoplight"
Is R "running lights" or "parking lights"
Regards

"H" goes to the headlight junction blocks. "S" goes to the dimmer switch. "R" goes to the instrument lights and taillights. Check your e-mail. I sent you the wiring diagram.

The head light switch wire goes to the dimmer switch. Two wires then go from there to the headlight junction blocks, then to the high and low beams.

I think you are right on about what the H, S and R mean. It should be easy to determine with your multi-meter though.
