1971 i light switch

[zurg98]

Does anyone have a complete view of the color wires that go on each terminal?
I have side shots and I’m one or two wires off.
My dash lights come on with the ignition on but once you pull the light switch they go off

Thank you
Andy

This is my 1973 if it helps.

The 1971 wire colors are slightly different than my 1975, and the layout of the wires is also slightly different, but looking at the wiring schematic for a 1971, it looks like this:

headlight switch wiring:

Power comes into the switch at two terminals, 30 and 75

Terminal 30 hot at all times 

Terminal 75 hot with ignition on/run. 


Terminal 56 is the feed for the headlight circuit only

Terminal 57 is the parking light indicator.

Terminal N [which I assume is K on the factory schematic] is for the license plate lights & the non-fused ashtray light

Terminals 58L and 58R are for the left and right parking lights

Terminal 58A is for the interior lights

Additionally:
The headlights should only be on if the ignition key is in the on/run position. That is the only time power is supplied to terminal 56. This explains why when you turn the car off at night the parking lights remain on but the headlights turn off.


Terminal 30 should have 2 wires attached to it a red wire and a red/white wire. The red/white wire goes to the headlight flasher switch so you can flash your lights at Boxsters, but they won't flash back.


• There are two grey/blk wires on terminal 58L and two grey/red wires on terminal 58R
• There are two wires on terminal 56, a yellow and a white/blk wire
• A red wire on terminal 75
• A grey wire on K (or N)
• White/green wire on terminal 57
• Two black/blue wires on terminal 58A
