I can't figure it out.I have about 6.20 volts going to the headlight switch.Don't look like there is about 5 volts going out?I got about 5 volts at the dimmer switch.For some reason the voltage at headlight pig tails went from about 5.50 to 5 volts.I have unplugged all my other lights one at a time with no change in voltage at headlights?I thought some other light was draining voltage real bad.I am not an electrician expert so I am still lost.At battery I have new woven ground to firewall and then another from there to nut on head?Is this the way a 40 should be set up?
