RE: lights at last

Are you talking about the switch to the right. This is the switch that turns on the service lights, blackout lights, or turns everything off. Up is service (regular lights) middle is off, and down is blackouts. With the right switch in blackout you can turn on the blackout drive with the other switch by pulling it out and up. The down position is spring loaded and will turn off the blackout drive light. With the right switch in the service light position power is given to the regular headlight switch so you have to have the military switch in the service drive position and the regular headlight switch on for you to get headlights and brake lights. I keep the right switch in the service drive position all the time and just use the regular switch to control the headlights. If you do not have the right switch in the service drive position you will not have turn signals or brake lights.

Did you put the right switch in the up position to get everything to work? If so, leave it there so you have brake lights.

Sounds like that switch is broken. I am pretty sure the service drive position is up on that switch. If you need one I will check my Junkvee to see if I have one in it.

RE: lights at last

the brake lights work with the switch on the down position, so im not sure if its wired wrong or just confused.

Do the blackouts work with the switch in the opposite position? Maybe someone installed it upside down accidently.
