I have a 4 position so cal headlight switch off,park,low, high beam. And a so cal keyless ignition switch any one have a diagram for these? I’m not a wiring guy and need all the help I can get.
The large center lug in the middde of the headlight switch is incoming power. The single terminal on the right in your picture is tail and dash lights. The other three are park, low, and high but I can't remember which. Easy to check out with a continuity tester. Also that switch has no internal fusing so be sure you fuse your circuits. Sorry, I can't help with the ign. switch from a picture.
They are marked though. Battery, start, accessory, and ignition. You should be able to take it from there.
Ign switch is marked: B = battery I = ignition A = accessory S = start The three on the left of the light switch: farthest from the knob is park, middle is low beam, and closest to the knob is high beam. The battery and tail/dash lights are as previously posted.
If you know someone with an ohm meter and knows how to use it, you can find out both of those switches within a few minutes. Found this on Google (Take that for what it's worth):
My four wire headlight switch has high beam all the way out, low beam in the middle, and running lights at the first step. High in the middle seems odd to me.
The headlight switch eliminates the need for a dimmer switch in hot rods that don't have much room for a floor switch and often just have a bare tube for a steering column with no switches or crap on it. On the headlight switch the: Battery feed goes to the headlight fuse in the fuse block. Dash lamp connection to the dash lights. Park lamps is park if you have them in front and Tail lights. High beam to the high beam plug on the head lights and to the high beam indicator light on the dash Low beam to the low beam plug on the lights. Rather than hit the dimmer switch you have to reach and push/pull the switch between low and high beams when you want to change. I'd use relays for high and low beam as the constant switching back and forth with the full draw of headlights will probably shorten the life of the switch. Ignition switch should be self explanatory. Batt goes to a hot all the time direct feed off the battery no fuse S = start goes to the S post on the starter solenoid I = ignition goes to the coil and to the fuse block section for items that run only when the key is in the ignition position like Turn signals A = Accessory goes to the accessory section of the fuse block so you can run the radio or what not with the key to accessory but don't have the ignition on.
