Well got everything run and correct to diagram …all works ok..the headlights were not working due to a really old dimmer switch..when I disconnected on side they came right on…my only issue now is when I pull the panel switch on..the reading light and panel lights come on for awhile but then the fuse pops and turns it all off..the previous owner ran a 20 amp fuse between the light switch to panel switch wire..this was not on diagram…so maybe there were issues before and that’s why they ran an inline fuse? Idk…all the feeds are on correct switches and grounded….I noticed the panel switch has three pull out settings ..the reading light only comes on with final pull….I also noticed the reading light bulb was extremely hot…burning hot..so maybe the mini bulb has too much wattage…the bulb reads 55. Sf.5 I think…tough to read…tks

Got everything working except headlights…could be because they are 12 volt but more likely something mixed on jumction block or poor ground…any ideas where I can get 6 volt headlight seamed for this car? Thanks

Back at my 41 110 deluxe…continuing replace all the wiring back to 6 volt and to correct schemes….I have removed the lighting switch as almost every terminal has been altered…anyway ..I can’t find any info on the wiring for my directional unit on steering wheel…then I thought maybe it’s not original or they didn’t come with one? Also my foot dimmer headlight switch is really rusty so I figured I would replace it while checking the routing on the wires…any thoughts on accessing the foot unit? It seems like it’s recessed between the fender and frame…I can see how it is removed from the floor but then it drops out from underneath I’m assuming? Thanks again for the responses….super helpful

Ok thanks…I have figured out the issue…the guy who converted it to 12 still had some connections secure but were cut off down the line …yes the wiper motor grounds out near starter to dash metal…and getting power from the ignition switch…done for day!! Tough under that dash..thanks for all the help!!! Back at it tomorrow

Ok I think I understand all of that …I’m done with a majority of the wiring ..Another part of the diagram that I’m confused by is at the wiper motor all the diagrams indicate a wire on the circuit breaker part of the motor states grounded at ignition switch but does not show where it goes?

Another question I have is what to use for battery cables now that it’s back to six volt…I see they used a braided strap to ground..is that certain gauge…and it appears to be mounted on the frame not the engine block…and what gauge should I use for the positive ground to the starter..I’m guessing 00 but maybe that’s too big…? And is there another ground besides the strap? Thanks again
