Re: BROWN WIRE ON HEADLIGHT SWITCH

Did you look here: http://www.austinthirdgen.org/mkport...ody_wiring.gif

Shows a brown wire at headlight switch in that diagram - seems to run from switch to all the exterior lights.

Orange in this diag seems to be main wire for interior lights.

However, orange wires are all the the car for many things. I'm sure there's more than 1 brown wire in the car as well.

Re: BROWN WIRE ON HEADLIGHT SWITCH

brown is for the parking and side marker lights and the orange is usually for the interior lights....
