Thanks! I just found a picture of someones notebook with a diagram doing the search. Page 13. I found many other diagrams along the way that were helpful too. Your explanation is much clearer than the picture I found. Thanks again, back to the garage.

I'll try REAL hard not to be too Krusty here. Whatever happened to looking at a wiring diagram? For years, no DECADES, we've done that, and it works!

If I knew how to read a diagram, I would not have asked the question. Some of us are talented in other areas.

Well, if you own a 914 your going to have to learn. Otherwise, sell the car or be prepared to shell out everytime there is an electrical problem. The Cap'n is a grouchy old fart but he is right about this. So put your learning cap on and start asking questions. ps most people here didn't know shit from apple butter about auto electrical before coming here.

Got a follow up question to the headlight switch wiring: Which terminal/&lights are activated when the knob is pulled out at the first stop, then the second stop ?

The factory diagrams, available on the Pelican Parts website, have the numbered terminals matched up with colored drawings of the wiring. Even easier than a written description!

Well Jimmy ... ya gotta think about it ...
What comes on on your car when you pull to the first stop? Side lights, tail lights, gauge lights (can't remember if the headlight pop up) ... match the colors
At the second stop .. you would also get headlights (& maybe the pop up) ... match the colors.
All of this with the key on.
I don't remember if anything comes on with the key off.
Alternatively, use a VOM and check continuity between pin 30 (hot) and the rest of the tabs. 58A & B are going to be the rheostat that dims/brightens the dash lights.
I might actually have to go to my car and find out, but it's a long walk to the garage.

Why,
It was asked and answered.
Those diagrams on Pelican are not so easy to figure out....specially the headlight switch.

Thanks Ron, that gets me started in the direction I want to go. I want to modify the switching such that the first stop ( pull of the knob ) only activates the 4 corner lights. The gauge lights, license plate lights, and red rear tailight will come on with the second stop along with the headlights

I would suggest that you consider using relays and get the main wiring out of that switch....they melt.

Note: Diagram of the late switch may be in error. I just seperated a late switch from a loom with the wires attached and did continuity tests.
It appears that 58L and 15 are reversed in position from the pictures posted. 58L still has the two grey w/blk trace wires and 15 has a thick red and a smaller red w/white trace.

hello sir, I am from Belgium and I have a 914/1800 transformed into 2056, I have a friend who has a real 2 L but the headlight cover is closed when the position lights work, I do not.
but I would like that on my 914 when the positions work my hood also remains closed! how to do.
on my model, I don't have the same switch, mine is round!
Thank you.
Lux Pierre.

Can you post a photo of your switch, and perhaps the contact positions?

That switch is not correct for your 914 1.8L. The correct switch for your car is shown in post #1 of this thread.

Post a WTB ad in the classified ads on this site for the late headlight switch as shown in Post#1 of this thread. Someone surely has the correct switch available.
