Left Hand Hi/low switch rebuild
« on: October 12, 2012, 05:54:18 pm »
just spent 30min digging through old posts, even checked the shop manual..

need some help on reassembling the Hi/Low switch....  can't figure out the assembly order. Specifically can't figure out the orientation of one plate (the one without the holes for the BB), and the orientation of the little square contact thing behind the spring.

stuck at the shop till I figure this out.

Hmmm.... the pictures are mainly pertaining to the turn signal switch. I think singledebile is working on the Hi/Lo headlight switch. I've probably got one I can break down and photograph if you still need it (unless someone beats me to it).

thanks, I ended up wiring the headlight directly so that it was always on to get home.. I will have some time to rebuild it this afternoon. The pictures does help me see where the second plate goes.
