I have never looked at a CCX wiring diagram. That said, the steering stalk is likely a variation of the VW bug stalk. The little button on the back of the stalk when pushed provides a ground signal to a latching relay fastened somewhere near the steering column. The latching relay has 12v+ coming in from the headlight switch, which has a feed that is hot all the time, and the latching relay sends 12v+ to either the high or low beam wires, through intermediate fuses probably at the fuse box, and that's how it works to light and switch your high and low beam. Some latching relays have a wiring option that allows FTP (flash to pass). I have a thread on that over in the ERA forum. Mucho coolo. Now remember I've never actually looked at a CCX.


EDIT -- Here's the flash to pass thread:Enabling Headlight "Flash to Pass" in 10 Minutes or Less
