mas8230 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I have the taillights all wired up. All my turn siganls work properly. I haven't done the emergency flasher yet. However, My rear lights only work when the headlight switch is "All the way" on. They will not come on at the first click. I have four posts at the top of my headlight switch, Red, White/Red, Green, and Green/White. What goes where? Also, the brake light switch seeemed pretty straightforward, Orange on 1 terminal, White on the other at the switch. I Do not have brake lights either. Any suggestions or wire numbers and proper locations would be helpful. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas8230 Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 Brake lights are functional now. I still need help with the combo switch, wipers, and emergency flasher. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanomon Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Do you have continuity to any/all the circuts in question? I would begin their. Once you've insured the paths are established, move on to the various relays, switches, etc. Also, make sure all the grounding points are solid/unubstructed. Might try checking the soldered points of the combo-switch on top of the steering column. Mine was barely attached on the headlamp wire causing the lights to flicker when I would sometimes hit a bump. Takes some time but, big part of a good nights sleep, is knowing your car's wiring is good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas8230 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 I think; as I stated I think, I have the headlight portion of the combo switch ready to go. I'll know for sure when I hook up the headlights tomorrow. I took apart the top of the combo switch, cleaned the contacts, and resoldered the one post. After that, I re-assembled it and the lights now work in the park position like they are supposed to. Now, onto the wipers............ A question about the headlights though; Do I need to wire in a relay, or is that the relay supplied with the Painless harness. If I need to wire one in, where is the best place? Should the relays be in series BEFORE the lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 first click on the head light switch should only get you 'parking' lights, second is when the head lights com on. As for the Hazards, i think you can run them to a toggle like the original z used, or at least min did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
