Headlight switch drama

I would suspect you are making a l mistake somehow. You are aware? That the tail /park circuit gets power from a separate source. B1 /B2 both must be receiving power. Check it under load. Install it loose, hanging down so you can access the terminals. Pull on park. Check that B1 and B2 are both hot and whether the tail and park are also hot.

If not, and they actually really are defective, I don't know what to say. Round up a used one, and install two relays, one for high, one for low beam.

Can I trouble you for clarification on power to B1 and B2? My wiring diagram shows a black wire from the ammeter going to B1, which I assumed was incoming power. It shows two wires on the B2 terminal, one going to the stop light switch and the other to dome light. My assumption was that power to the brake light switch was supplied from the B2 terminal.
