headlight switch on 2400 coupe

Post by pablogustav »

Hello there folks,
I just got my car back on the road after a very long engine rebuild and am now having fun with the wiring/electrical issues. I have a very basic/silly question and that is the 3 position switch for the headlights? Can someone please let me know what the orientation should be for off/parking lights/headlights? Is the off position with the top of the rocker switch pushed in or with the switch in the mid position with the top and bottom equal? I am assuming that main headlight position is with the bottom of the switch pushed in? I cannot tell from my owner's manual and the car is doing odd things in each position as far as the lights are concerned! thanks so much for help in the new year,
Pablo

It's off when the top is pushed in. You switch the lights on by pushing the lower half.

Tobi is absolutely correct:

The lights get on when the rocker Switch is on AND when the leer at the steering wheel is in corresponding Position.
Rocker Switch one down and Lever on top: Standing lights on
Rocker completely down and Lever one down: driving light
Rocker two down and Lever two down: far beam light on

Have fun with your Dino in 2016,
KR Thomas
