[ROVERNET - UK] high beam dip switch

[Paul Smith]

When the light switches are on do you have 12V on the blue?  Or is the low beam working?
The connector block does come out when you remove the switch, I have done this.
RHD cars have the dip on the left.
Yes pushing up selects high beam.
The UW wires (which feed high beam) should go in to the double connector.  Rovers are very consistent about the colour codes.

Subject: [ROVERNET - UK] high beam dip switch


I changed my rusty old bent dip switch with a new one.......one of the bent 
kind with the solid connector block on the wires..........since i couldn't 
get the wires into the block because they were too close to the harness, i 
cut the connector block off and soldered the old wires and bullets to the 
new...........i can get the high beams too flash pulling it back but no 
matter how i seem to connect the wires i can't get the high beams to come on 
permantly..........don't you just have to push the dip switch up and it 
works the high beams....( i don't have a floor switch)...........or have i 
got the wrong dip switch...............an aside i have another new one but 
it is opposite, in the wiring and insignia direction............do RHD cars 
have the headlight dip switch on the right side of the steering 
wheel............
If anyone could look at their switch and tell me how it is wired(colour 
codes)..one side of the switch has 2 wires (brown and blue/white)....they 
seem to work the flashing of the high beams when you pull the 
switch...................The other 3 on the front of the switch are blue, 
blue/white, and blue/red................one of the 5 was connected in a 
double bullet connector

The wires only connect to 4 wires....a brown, blue/white,blue/red and a 
blue.........

Don't ask why i didn't mark them or remember...i gashed my head under the 
dash and yanked the whole thing out when i ^##@@#%$^%*&&&U

Any help would be appreciated.......or maybe i just have the wrong one for 
my year of car.........if you push it up it does make a real click like the 
old one
