[TR] wiring question

[Bob Danielson]

When you say "a TR6 light switch arm on the steering column" what do you 
mean? Beginning with the '73, the light switch is on the dash and the 
FTP/High Beam switch is on the right side of the steering wheel. The wiring 
for that set up is much different. '72 and earlier had the dimmer on the 
floor.

In looking at the AAW schematics (http://www.advanceautowire.com/tr2506.pdf) 
for the 250 & 6, the two blue wires on the 250 go into a bullet connector 
and then 1 blue wire goes to the dimmer. On the 6 it's the same except it's 
1 blue wire out of the switch to the dimmer. In both cases 1 blue wire to 
the dimmer. The blue/white feeds the high beam indicator & the high beams 
via the dimmer on both cars. They're really wired pretty much the same.

I have finally worked out that my TR250 has a TR6 light switch arm on the
steering column.  The 250 wiring called for 2 solid blue wires to connect to
a single blue in the wiring harness, but the TR6 has a single solid blue and
a blue/white (which in the TR6 feeds the high beam lamp in the speedometer.

I am guessing I make do with the single blue and ignore the blue /white, but
if anyone has experience with this, I'd appreciate the input.  Thanks in
advance.
