Pabz Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 When Its really cold out, like today, my switch wont work till it warms up inside the cab. I had to drive with high beams for a while. I pull the level forward but the switch doesnt work. Any way to add a switch. Would it need to be a button switch (on for a short period) or a toggle switch? And which wires could i tap into. I remember my Ford Econoline van had the switch to the left of the brake petal so you could hit it with your foot. 8) Quote
jimmy91444 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 on the left side of the steering colum there is a metal rod. At the bottom of the rod is the switch and it's adjustable. you may have too drop your steering colum down to get to it do. Quote
Crimson Fury Z Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 mine is screwed, the only way i can get it to switch to high is removing the wheel and toggling it manually. otherwise, when i go to pull it theres no resistance or click, smooth motion. Quote

At the bottom of the rod is the switch and it's adjustable. you may have too drop your steering colum down to get to it do. this is the corrrect answer. You will have to lower the column for clearance, unless you're elastic man. But it only takes a few mintues to fix. Quote
Pabz Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 temp fix for now is to raise the tilt one notch, usually does the trick, or just let the car run till it warms up. Anyway to disable day time running lights easily?? Quote

Pabz Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 contibute to what? My own thread about the lighting system. It was an additional question seeing as though my initial question was already answered and confirmed. Quote

Pabz Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 Maybe, not all cars on the roads around here have them and they still get registered. I just want to have a switch for my headlights, with the DTRL they turn on before the engine cranks, so they dim, I dont think this is good for the HID's Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 How about if you disconnect the diode? I think it's something mounted on the column bracket that has a heatsink on it. Yeah, that's not good for the ballasts at all! Quote
Pabz Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 When I park it, Turn off HIDs by going to high beam. then when it cranks the high beams are on. Then i switch it back to lows. Quote
