M915a1 marker light wire colors coming from headlight switch???

[Hooty481]

Try to figure out which wires on the factory head light switch run the marker lights and also which wire supplies the power. I have unhooked different wire at different times and still have marker lights. Any help would be great.

The schematic that will answer your questions is located in the back of TM9-2320-283-20-3, downloadable from the JATonka.com website.

Go to www.[B]jatonkam35s.com[/B]/jatonkaM915seriesTMdownloadpage.htm and look at TM 9-2320-283-20-3. The complete wiring schematic and harness is in the back.

I appreciate the reply but I had already found the TM and the schematic but I couldn't get it to make sense. I finally just did a little testing and guessing and figured it out.

For the people in the future it's the pink and orange wires wich are the biggest wires going to the original light switch. I ran them through a 75amp push/pull switch and I had about an hour run home last night. The switch got warm but not like the old stock head light switch.

There is quite a bit good info on this problem in this thread. I have modified the wiring in 3 trucks and they all work great now. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?67474-Headlight-switch-for-m915a1

check the push button on the dash the morse coad button , you push this buton and the marker light will go out you let it go and the lights will come on, you know dot dot dash this boton is hooked to the markers light . So check the back side of this buton and i think that you will find the wire that you are lokking for
