1924 tailight operation
I am working on a 24 Touring. It has a new wiring harness and a new ignition switch. The tailight only comes on when the switch is turned to “on” but not on “dim”. Should it be on in both positions? Thanks, Art

Re: 1924 tailight operation
Yes. The outer ring inside the switch will make contact as indicated, green, in this diagram. The brass colored contacts are riveted to a steel ring providing continuity. In the diagram one is in contact with the BAT connection & the others are DIM Tail or Bright Tail. What do the headlights indicate?Art Ebeling wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 5:25 pmI am working on a 24 Touring. It has a new wiring harness and a new ignition switch.

Check for continuity on the Tail screw when the switch is on dim (one lead on DIM & the other on Tail) no wires connected. Its possible that the lower U is not making contact

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
