seirra/blade switches
hi
i seem to be stuck on this last problem before its finished.
problem is the headlights ,when i have dipped beam on the stalk is in the high beam position ,and when i have high beam the stalk is in dipped beam
position.all the lights work ok but the positioning is messed up.only thing i can think is that i have wired something wrong at the stalk end .
im using seirra stalks and fireblde clocks so when i have high beam the blue light comes on the blade clocks,and i used premier wiring loom
many thanks simon

Lets see now:
are you aware there are three positions on the stalk?
1. Push forward - Hi-beam lock
2. Normal position - Dip
3. Pull back - flash
So what you are saying is:
"When your lights are in normal position you have hi-beam and when pulled or pushed you have dipped"? If so, you have connected the wires
in the headlight units incorrectly. Swap over the hi and dip wire feeds.
Sounds to me like you are unaware that there are three positions. BTW - when hi-beam is on LOCK (pushed forward), dipped lights should go off. When
flash is activated (pulled) ALL (hi and dip) are on!

So what happens when you pull the stalk towards you for the main beam flash, with your lights off?

They run through a seperate switch. Sidelights are totally independant. headlights/dip go through seperate relays. run through the

Hi There,
This sounds like a problem I have just spent a few days working out myself !!!
In my case it was me that was the problem....slight bit of colour confusion....
Using the premier loom to connect to the sierra column switch for dip / main I had got a couple of wires the wrong way round. I left wiring tails on
the switch connectors and soldered the premier loom to this basically I should have connected the brown / yellow from the loom to the Brown / White on
the plug and vice versa, sorry but I cannot remember the pin numbers, I can look this up tomorrow evening if it helps.
Same symptoms, switch on headlights with dip switch in central position and I get high beam and the warning lamp, move to main beam pos and the
warning light goes out and I get dip beam....dip and main on along with the warning light when the switch is pulled forwards.
Got to be worth a look if you havn't already sorted it.
Hope this helps,
John.
