Rewired my truck?
and used the light harness for Snyders, the one for single headlight bulbs and cowl lights. Here is the problem, only two indents, off-one-two. I thought it needs 3, one for dims one for brights and one for cowl lights??
Also wondering why I'm not getting email notification? what do I look for in my user cp? Thanks for any thoughts for a new guy.. Ray |

Re: Rewired my truck?
What year truck? If it's your red avitar truck, then you should have a switch contact ring with 3 bumps to match the switch plate on Snyder's harness. You should have 4 positions, with one of then being OFF. 7 o'clock should be parking lights. 6 o'clock should be off. 5 o'clock should be dim, and 4 o'clock should be bright.
With the switch handle pointed straight down at 6 o'clock, the spyder on the bottom end of the horn rod should be at 12 and 6 o'clock. |

This might help. Look at the light switch in the upper right corner. Wiring

Does the switch position arrangement described above apply to all models?

Re: Rewired my truck?
Thanks for the replies guys, my harness only has 2 wires to each headlight, hence single bulb harness, no parking lights and no 7 o'clock position, and yes it's a 31. Also on the diagram they sent me the switch has brights, dims and cowl lights (instead of parking lights)
update: just talked to Snyders and he said I should have the 7 oclock position (cowl lights), only thing he could figure is the switch could have been changed in the past to an early 28 two position switch. Last edited by IrishHills; 10-02-2010 at 08:58 AM. |

Re: Rewired my truck?
Is your horn rod spider in the correct position? Also the alignment notch goes down for the light switch assembly. I've had to change some after someone put the notch up on the steering column part.
With the switch assembly off, you should have full rotational movement of the light switch handle. So, if you can't move the handle to 7 o'clock then something has to be wrong with the alignment of the rod spider or switch assembly. |

Re: Rewired my truck?
Thanks Tom, I'll re-check, but the off is at 6 oclock and I have 5 and 4 oclock?
update: well I have 7 oclock, all it took was a litte wiggle on the switch and working the horn control at the same time, must have a burr on the contact, after working it back and forth it's a little better, but still clicks harder then 5 and 4 oclock, maybe it will work in .. thanks for all the help.
