    Default 3 lever light switches

    This is al kaiserjeeps not todd. I could have fun with this...

    Todd and I stayed up late and I did some testing in the 3 lever light switch to see which pins were active on which setting. I am trying to incorporate the stock switch into his new wiring harness. This is what we found...
    Pin F is always incoming hot. Changing the switch levers routes power to the pins in this manner.

    Stoplight / off pins A,J
    Stoplight / dim pins B,J,A
    Panel bright setting is the same pins as dim
    Stoplight / park pins B,J,A

    Service drive / Off Pins M,H,J,A
    Service drive / Dim Pins M,B,H,J,A
    panel bright setting is the same pins as dim
    Servive drive / park Pins B,H,J,A

    BO marker / off Pins E,A
    BO marker / dim pins E,B,A
    panel bright setting is the same pins as dim
    BO marker / park pins E,B,a

    BO drive / off pins E,D,A
    BO drive / dim pins E,D,B,A
    panel bright setting is the same pins as dim
    BO drive / park pins E,D,B,A

    This should be most settings. We needed to document this to incorporate his new harness into the 3 lever switch. Add a couple wires and we will have a modern fused harness with all the black out functions. The manuals can be vague on what bulb is on by description. Now we know what pins get power. Pictures will follow. I don't have my cord from camera to computer here. I'll post up when I get home. Hope this helps someone in the future.
    Back to burning the midnight oil...

    Just found all that and used up most of Todds printer ink. You think an old timer here would know about all that cool stuff. The manuals didn't work for me for a year or so, therefore I never went there. Now they do work, plus there is way more information in there than before. Cool.

    It was a good way to burn an hour anyways...

    In a very sissonesque way ... I'm just sayin... and everything.

    Actually this list I made came in handy in tandem with the other documentation. It made figuring out what pin is live and when quick to find. Helped with all the other wiring and blending two separate harnesses. I saw the same answers could be found by looking, but this is quicker.
