I'm really hoping someone can help please?! I need to know which wires go onto the back of the (middle) light switch on the lower dash panel? When I took the panel off to do the dash swap I tried to note which colour wires went where as I removed each one, only to have a handful all come off at once and ruin my plans frown Now I'm having difficulty making the main beam work properly. If anyone has a wiring diagram for the lower dash panel that they can point me in the direction of, or send over I'd be really grateful!

Thanks,

Rob smile

Rob,

On my '93 Chim - YOURS MAY BE DIFFERENT:

The two wires are red/white and blue/red.

The red/white is the power feed taken from the side light switch.

Hope this helps, but remember that TVRs' wiring varied.

Main beam in isolation is not dependent on that switch, if either the main or dipped beam switch on & off with that switch, it is OK.

I have a picture of mine that I took when i had that panel out. I seem to have some spare wires and/or terminals but everything works fine, so left well alone. If you email me, I will send it over to you.

Hi all, having similar problems with mine, only difference is I didn't take the wires out so have no clue to where they all go. Sorry I knows it's an old thread but would that picture still be available?
