Re: [T3] FW: Headlight switch

[Chris Wright <Christopher.Wright@Sun.COM>]

<x-flowed>On your 65 the switch has only one 58 terminal which feeds (through a 
plain white wire according to the wiring diagram ) to the 2 LH fuses, 
there's a joining bar on the fusebox.  Each of these fuses feeds a rear 
light.
Incidentally, in the photo it looks as though the white wire that does 
this is on the terminal 58b and the thinner white with a red tracer is 
on 58.  According to my wiring diagram these are the wrong way round.  
58b should be the wire that feeds/dims the dash lights.  Of course it 
may be my eyesight or my wiring diagram which are misleading me....
