Hi guys,
Finally running some power to the bumblebee and happy that almost everything is working as it should (turn signals, brakes, hazard lights, gas tank idiot light, etc). But the headlights are posessed... – Headlight motors go down when stalk is pulled out, and up when pushed in (verified wiring is correct at switch and headlight motors). – Headlights don't come on in either position (neither hi nor low beams – Instrument lights don't come on – Left turn tail light comes on solid – Brake lights light Using a new switch (old switch behaved the same). I've been checking my prospero's wiring diagram and all looks well. Thinking it must be a relay, but I'm scratching my head. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Alright, making a little progress. The headlights now turn on when the stalk is pulled (and key turned), but they're facing down in their buckets. The rear side marker lights work on both sides. So all that's left is why up is down and down is up on the headlight motors. When i swap the gray and green/black wires on the switch, the headlights pop up and down continuously. I suppose I could always swap the leads at the motors, but that's cheating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). Is it possible I just aligned the pivot rods inversely when doing the install? Any other suggestions?
