Reply to "highbeam wiring"

Bill, I wanted to comment quicker but needed to check a few items first. Anyway curious if the stock wiring harness was re-installed after the restoration? (the green/black wires mentioned suggest so). If so you should find that L and R high beams are wired separately to the first fuse on the fuse box (i.e., two separate wires, both are green/black). This fuse is powered from another large green/back wire (call it wire #3 for convenience) that goes to the 4-lug wiring block near the steering harness. At this end wire #3 connects to the blue/white lead from the turn signal assy. Also at this end, wire #3 is crimped to a fourth green/black wire that runs to the light relay (one of the elements that is missing on the Hall diagram). Unfortunately I can't find any notes on how the light relay is connected but there are four total wires that connect to it (green/black high beam; grey/black low beam; green flasher; black ground) whether you are running a Carello or Bosch (or other brand) relay.

Hope this makes sense! If you have this stock wiring in place I would check the turn signal unit for proper operation - the blue and blue/white leads from the signal assy should 'close' when the high beams are switched on). I would also check the terminal block connections behind each headlight assembly, which I ignored in above description (my car was missing these but they reside in the L and R front fender cavities, ahead of their respective front wheel splash shields). If anybody has a photo showing how these blocks are mounted (seems like more often that not they are flopping around for some reason?) it would be great! Regards to all, Nate
