Hello,
I was hoping to reuse the light switch that was in my 74, but I am really struggling with the "current flow diagram" vs a typical "wiring diagram". The wiring diagram for the 71 is much easier for my addled brain to follow. However, the 71 used a different light switch with fewer connections, so not much help! I no longer have popups, so I wont be using those connections, but hoping to use the connections for parking lights, headlights, and maybe the dimmer (knob twist) for the gauge lights. Here's what I THINK I have ferreted out from the 74 current flow diagram in the service manuals:  Here's the best pic I could get of my light switch that shows most of the connection numbers (11 total connections):  I hoping someone can maybe confirm what I have so far as accurate, or even better share where each connections goes/it's purpose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

If it helps you here is a link to a Dash Switches circuit diagram on my harness website for the headlight switches. Various combinations of those connection tabs connect to different circuits dependent on what position the pull switch is in.
