Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation

High/Low Beam and Headlamp Flash

High beam is operated by pushing the switch forwards. The switch is latched in this position and the high beam is active until the switch is manually pulled rearwards. The headlamp flash function is operated by pulling the switch rearwards. The switch contacts complete a circuit and the headlamps are activated for as long as the switch is operated. The switch is non-latching in this position and the headlamp flash is switched off when the switch is released and it returns to its off position. The high beam and headlamp flash positions are connected on separate wires to the CJB and ground. When a switch selection is made, a circuit is completed from the CJB to ground via the switch contacts.
