main beam dash light
bob - 9/9/03 at 07:22 PM

After a lot of messing around a while back managed to get my main and dipped beam working,so its only a formality pluging the main beam dash light in.

NO

My little blue dash light seems to have its own ideas,it comes on for main beam ok but also stays on for dip as well.
There's a contact somewhere but i'm buggered if i can find whats doing it,any clues ?

you have it connected to the power feed to the dip switch rather than to the individual main and dip wires that come from it.

Are you using the Sierra switch gear?, if so does the dash light stay on when you pull the switch as well as when you push for main beam?

Yep its sierra bg87 switchgear plugged to a premier wiring loom,and yeas it stays on with lever in dip or main.

but with side lights or no lights it comes on and off on the flasher.

Its getting a live on dip so as steve said its powering up from the power feed on dip,i'll have a look at my conections fri morn before i head to donington.
I can always ask alan at premier wiring as i suspect he will be at the show,but i think its just a case of me tracing my switchgear conections.

I have checked already (3 times today)but sometimes a couple of days out of the cave and a fresh head sometimes helps,i just thought it may have happened to others so worth a try.

thanks lads for your replys
