Question Instrument light problem

I have a small problem. When I turn the headlights off on my 54, the instrument lights stay lit. I have to ramp them off by turning the **** counterclockwise. Does any body have a wiring diagram so that I know where the lead for the instrument lights is supposed to be connected?? Or has anybody else experienced this problem? Thanks, John

Instrument light problem

I had a similar problem. When I had my park lights on the dash lighs were on. When I put the headlights on the dash lights went out. So what did I do.... Got mad and replased the whole darn switch. It was a good thing to. The old one was kinda busted up. I had no wiring diagram so it was trial and error. But after an hour or so and my brother making sure the rear and front park lights were going on and off I got everything to work. I hope this helps.

John,
Here is a wiring diagram that I found on the internet somewhere. I can't remember where, so I can't give proper credit. Hopefully, this works (should be a diagram below).


Good Luck,
Kent
