Headlight Wiring and Operation in a 39 1700 Series.

Posted by jim C On 2016/4/15 23:12:29

I'm sorting thru the rats nest of past owners under the dash and trying to get the car back to it's original wiring sans maybe another wire going back from my turnsignal switch so my stop lights work as turnsignals too, but that's another issue.
I have a wiring diagram of my car but I can't make sense of the wiring from the headlight switch to the dimmer switch and out to the headlights. I'm reading that the car had a city and country position on the headlight switch but can't find a detailed explanation of what that means or how it worked. It would be great if I could get a wiring diagram showing the system in action but I know that is probably going to be nearly impossible. If anyone can help me with this issue I'd appreciate it. I did manage to rebuild my rheostat for the instrument lights but would like to get a new one if I could. Can't find that either. Let me know. Thanks again...
