Re: steering column controls

2003-01-10 by Don Lattimer <donlattimer@pacific.net>

Nick,

My main light switch is a rocker on the dash.  The instrument light 
switch is also a rocker on the dash.  The stalk on the column has 
three positions (off, high beam, and low beam).  By pulling (or maybe 
pushing) the stalk, the high beams flash (dip?).  You know what I 
mean.  The main switch on the dash has to be on for the lights to 
operate.  When the main switch is on and the stalk is in the off 
position, the rear lights and "parking" lights in the front are on.  
Mine is a RHD so the light stalk is on the left side and the turn 
signals are on the right side of the column.

Isn't that nice and clear??
