Hey guys, I need help with the wiring in my Firebird. I took the headlight switch out, and I need help identifying the wires that come out of it:
16-18gauge Orange - ?
10-12gauge Red - Fused power probably
16-18gauge Yellow - ?
16-18gauge Brown - ?
16-18gauge White - ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I spent the better part of a day trying to figure this out, but no dice.

 

According to my Haynes Manual:

Orange - Fused power from the Tail Lamp Fuse (20a) to the Instrument Dimmer Switch.
Red - Fusible Link Power to Circuit Breaker in Headlight Switch.
Yellow - From "Head" position on Headlight Switch to Dimmer Switch (HI/Low Beams).
Brown - From Headlight Switch to Fog Light Switch
White - From Headlight Switch to Isolation Relay (for Headlight Motors).

Hope that helps,
-Jeff

 

Thanks for teh help, I already figured it out. Lokks like the Haynes is wrong though, there is no way Brown could possibly be fog light power, the fog lights are on a totally differnt circuit, so somebody made a mistake.

 

Wouldn't be be the first time a Haynes manual has been wrong, and probably won't be the last.
Glad you figured it out.
