On my 1970, the headlights popup when turning on the parking lights. Is it possible to rewire the switch so that the headlights will only popup when I turn on the headlights? I'd like to be able to drive with the parking lights only on and not have the headlights popup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Moving the Motor to the headlight "on" terminal would accomplish this, the fusing may not like both of these loads on the headlamp fuse. I would also check the gauge of the supply side. Last, the switch rating may also be pushed beyond it's limit. sizzle..... A kludge might be to put a disconnect toggle on the motor actuator circuit. Lamps down until you throw the toggle. If I get to it I will look at the flow-down schematic and provide pointers this weekend....though there is a rumor that I need to go shopping.........hhhmmm |

very easy to do involves moving one wire on the headlight switch. If I wasn't so old I could tell you which one. Somewhere I have it written down if no one else comes up with it sooner I can find it for you.
