Re: [EVDL] switch DPDT wringing for hi/lo lights

[Cor van de Water via EV]

Easiest way to wire this circuit:
Connect hi and lo beam wires to the two "common" contacts.
Measure the hi beam wire connection to the outside contact in the setting
for lo beam. Leave that contact open and wire the other 3 outside contacts
to +12v if the lights return is ground.
Good luck,
Cor.

Re: [EVDL] switch DPDT wringing for hi/lo lights

[Michael Ross via EV]

I am not sure what you are trying to do and I don't want to figure it out,
but I will say you can definitely jumper the terminals and something will
happen. I used to design switches for Eaton Corp and it was common to ship
some configurations with this kind of mod. For example a DPDT can be used
to reverse a DC motor by switching the output polarity.  This probably
Google-able.

I would advocate that you carefully diagram the circuit on paper. It is
easy to get this sort of thing wrong.

Re: [EVDL] switch DPDT wringing for hi/lo lights

[John Lussmyer via EV]

What jumper?
Each side of a DPDT switch is independent.
So, one side of the switch will be ON-OFF-ON for the low beam.
The other side will be OFF-OFF-ON for the hi beam.

isn't that jumper  going to make them both go on ?..
I have 2 lights .

sw postion   1   2  3
1 light / off/  2nd light & 1st light both

Can do i do this by  jumpering across 1 & 3  on one side only??
