A few questions regarding rewiring job
Im almost done with wiring my car and Im stuck on the headlight switch to start. As I look at my service manual, I think I have all but one termination point figured out. I just want to tell you what I plan on terminating to what points.
Terminal H-Goes down to the dimmer switch on the floor to give power to headlights
Terminal R- Goes to the front and rear parking lights
Terminal B1- is the main power for the headlights
Terminal B2- I have no idea what goes on this one??? Please let me know
Terminal D- Goes to the Dome light
The other terminal that goes to the rheostat is for the gauge lights.
There are two feeds TO the switch. The B1 is for the headlights ONLY. Originally, this came off the no1 splice in the black ammeter wire up under the dash. It was UNfused, and the headlight circuit is protected -- to some extent -- by a breaker in the switch
The B2 is the second feed TO the switch. This originally came off your tail light fuse. This powers park and tail, and the instrument lamps.
The original instrument fuse "was a trick. Instrument lamp power came FROM this tail circuit in the switch, through and OUT the dimmer control, and THEN TO the instrument fuse in the fusebox. This was on the tan wire. Then THROUGH the inst. fuse, and then out to all dash dimmer controlled lamps on the orange wiring
The D terminal is the ground / switch for the dome circuit. When you twist the dimmer all the way to the left, that terminal is grounded and
Glove box light, I assume I just need to get a power wire to the light and it grounds itself out?
Yes. Make sure it's fused
Key light, is this light on 100% of the time the headlights are on or does this shut off originally with the time delay relay?.
Originally went through a delay. I don't believe it stays on
Ok last question is the ignition.
I'm running a EZ Harness and I've seen a few threads that say wires need to get connected together and other switched, although Im running HEI in my car so I dont have the ballast resistor or any of that stuff. Im not sure if I still have to switch my wires or just wire it like EZ says. So here is how EZ says I should wire it, let me know if I should wire it this way or change it up.
Ignition Power Red to Column Red (power)
Ignition Pink to Column Brown (ignition 2)
Ignition Acc Orange to Column Blue (ignition 1)
Ignition Acc Brown to Column Black (ignition acc)
Ignition Start Purple to Column Yellow (start)
The brown is hot to bypass the coil resistor in "start." The blue and brown (ign 1 and ign2) need to be jumpered together at some point if you have no ballast, because IGN1 goes dead during start
Black is hot in "run" or "acc" and feeds power TO the switched buss in the fuse panel, IE everything that goes through the key, like signals, radio, heater, etc
Yellow is your "start" wire which fires the start relay.
