headlamp,runninglamp problem
with lights on i have no running lamps or taillights. I have replaced my headlamp switch and harness last year, for same problem. However this time there is no visual burns or corrosion on either swicth or harness.
Anyone know wich wires i can jumper manually to get my tail lamps working?

You can't jumper any wires. The headlights use a ground signal while the parking and dash lights use a 12 volt signal. You would have to use a switch.
Did you check the fuse???

I had checkedl the fuses, none were blown. I plan on adding a single toggle switch to turn them on and off. I'm not sure wich wires I can tap into at the harness.
Thanks ken

I figured it out! If I jumper 12v from the batt through a toggle switch to the
red/green-striped wire leading to the headlamp switch, I'll light my running lamps.
Thanks for your help.

NO!!!! If you are using a extra switch, it should be between the White/Green and the Red/black for the parking lights at the switch and between the the white/green and the red/green for the dash lights.
You should NOT be wiring directly to the battery and if you are, you must use a proper value fuse.
