Headlight relay Q

[bigrob]

Is the switch for the hi beams in the turn signal stalk, or is that part just a 2 sided contact & the actual switch is in the headlight relay itself? Mine stopped working again. Headlights are stuck in hi beams and turn signal hi beam button is doing nothing.

Thanks!

As I understand it some used the switch for the horn and others use it for the Hi-beams.

Since it's a momentary switch a "latching" relay is used to flip between Hi-Lo.

There's a thread about this in the Kirkham section I think. As I recall it's a VW relay as well as the turn signal switch.

Your mention of a latching relay is what I wanted to hear! I already have a new one, part # DNI 0127, on my work bench.

Thanks Ronbo!!
