tr6fan Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 need some help guys-searched and plenty have had issues before me but can't find a way forward. I recently replaced the steering column bushes on my 1973 TR6 (a fun job, but that's another story!) Since then I cannot get the headlights to work properly. I believe all the connectors are correct and the switchgear works fine. I have noticed there is no live feed to the column switch and I think it should be live through the red/brown wire that goes back to the dash light switch. The only live feed to the column switch is the thin brown "flash to pass" one, which is working. earth points all seem good 9unless there's one I don't know about) Anyone any ideas?

RogerH Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 The red/Brown is only live when the switch is selected for headlights. If there is no power on the NR wire then check the Blue (U) after the switch and the Brown (N) before the switch for 12V http://www.advanceautowire.com/tr2506.pdf Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr6fan Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Will do Roger-yes, I meant no power NR with the switch in the on position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr6fan Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 There is no power on any wire at the switch in the on position Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Looking at the wiring diagram, there is a brown wire (N) going into it. If that is dead then you need to go back to the multiway connector that joins the battery/Starter/Alternator. Pull out the wires and clean them. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr6fan Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Well, since I had been dismantling the steering column the area where that multiway connector lives could have been disturbed. Having spent hours playing with switches and connections over the last day or two, I just gave the multiway connector a wiggle and everything came back to life.I'll take it apart and clean all the connections. Thank you so much for that advice Roger-much appreciated! Edited March 19, 2019 by tr6fan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
