Perfect thank you. IRS the few of ones like L for blue I didn't understand

great thanks!! now can anyone link the pages that identify wire color codes(ry, rb...etc)

my newer truck is different than that but same basic idea. voltage across the batt is 12v. i have been going from neg batt post to different chassis ground points. most are 0v, but some ~.1v. nothing as large as the .8v i fond in the headlight harness. it is definitely a grounding issue that i have but just cannot seem to find a specific point to clean etc.... another test i did was when the headlights were on and malfunctioning i ran a wire directly from positive battery terminal to the low beam power input(which was only seeing 6v at the time) once the wire connected headlights properly functioned(low and high) tho when i turned them off i got the EXACT opposite thing i used to have(passenger lights both bright, drivers both dim) so why do i not get 12v to the passenger side headlight power input? EDIT: as i stated in my original post i took out a pice of wire bent into a 'u' from behind the light switch plug(it was a simple bridge) now i used a voltmeter to do some testing to see which one would make sense. basically even at that point(the switch) i am only getting 6 volts out to the low beams. BUT i do get 12v in from fuse box. so use the bridge so that when you turn the switch one click you automatically give 12v to the low beams. i did this and it functioned perfectly for a minute or so. then the wire started to get VERY hot and i removed it. (shorting out) could not find another terminal that would work properly. at this point i know the piece i removed was to fix this issue by some owner. why did that piece not get warm (only difference is that mine was not insulated)

no tilt column. i think that looks corect. pm me a price

ground is good. from engine, to chassis, to battery. thers a smaller wire that branches from chassis off to the harness. not sure where it goes?

lights on, car not running battery voltage is 12v. now when i turn it on so it works "correctly" as i described above. brights are dimmly on.... passenger side low beam-6.5v drive, .4v ground, and 8v in the "middle" wire(not sure of proper term) driver side low beam-10.6v drive, .8v ground, 8v middle. now when i click on high beams(what happens is described above) pasenger high beam-2v power, .5v ground low beam-6v gound,2v drive, .5v middle driver highbeam-10v power, 0v ground(only correct one) low beam- 6v drive, 0v ground, .5v middle after this i am almost thinking i would rather re-wire it with a couple new relays...but i would HAVE to tap oem switch since i need that factory feel.

can you please elaborate on engine vs. body ground. as in touch multimeter to engine/chassis?

looking for a headlight switch. i know its the whole assembly for these trucks. hoping to save from buying oem.

thanks, i have solved the fuse box issue. but now i need a manual so i can try and get these headlights working! going to look for a chiltons(does it exist?)

okay i have done all of the above. swapped fuses and cleaned the relay a bit. and have seen a change. now when i flip the lights on the dash does NOT show brights as being on. (tho they are on and very dim) and headlights are on but also not to their full brightness potential. now when i clcik it into high beam mode i get the same issue as before(only driver Hbeam) and then it stays like this and does not come back. now sometimes this happens sometimes as it used to. so i have not fixed anything yet. i am really wishing i knew how to test the switch itself i feel it may not be good. but way too expensive for a hunch...

both are good. checked them first

round gauges. and i have 2 empty spots on the far bottom corners for other oem options(correct?) thanks for fuse info. i will put them in that order so i have [proper amperage.

hey guys new here, recently bought a 85 720 nissan(z24, small cab/bed) but it has been seriously molested by previous owners. sorry for the long read... I made a post in the 720 forum also because i picked up a haynes manual but it does not seem to be correct for my truck. The first thing i noticed was when looking at the plug for the blinker/lights switch. I cannot find a diagram of my plug. which is two rows of 4(8 pins) now the reason i am looking for this is because of my headlight issue. now my parking lights work fine, and so do all 4 lights(tested with another source) when i turn the switch to on position the dash says brights are on. on the drivers side both lights are on(low and bright). now on the passenger side the low beam is EXTREMELY dim and high is not on at all. i have been gogling/searching around. saw a few posts about people replacing the switch. i pulled it apart cleaned the terminals does not seem to be the issue i have. another thng ive read about are relays. can someone explain where these are located and a method of testing? again because i cannot seem to find the correct FSM. when i got the truck the lights were working properly. then i started to look into the wiring and began to see the mess. radio was powered by the turn signal. strobe lights powered by wipers. a serious mess. i also found a bent piece of wire bridging two pins on the connect for the lights/blinker switch(short circuit type thing). unfortunately i was not smart enough to record where it was placed and i removed it because this was definitely not OEM. After that i didnt drive at night for a while and then had this issue. so i am not sure if it is related and if that was the fix. anybody have ideas what it could have been used for? would it make any sense this would be my issue? What would cause the brights to some on when not switched on?

please do scan if possibly/legal. for example i am completely confused about my fuse box. it is by my left knee when driving and is a horizontal row of about 15. and they are all in order 10/15/20. color coded. i am assuming this is not factory and it was a previous owner... also the plugs shown for many of the behind the dash items(cluster, turn signal/lights, etc.) are completely incorrect. wrong shape wrong number of pins etc. and my truck has been screwed with by previous owners so i am trying to really fix this.

hey guys new to the forum and the truck scene. i bought i haynes manual for my truck but it is not exactly correct. i have an 85. 2wd. z24 napz, small cab. this is what i got http://www.autoparts...QQH1672030.html reason is i have headlight issues. plan to post that in electrical but need a diagram so i can try and track this down. thanks for any help.
