Jumper wire for headlight switch

Post by 69Ford »

I know I've seen a diagram on this site for using a jumper wire in the headlight switch to have the front parking lights on with the headlight on. Just can't find it. Any help

There's no fault in your system, it's like that by design. Obviously you can't be parked and driving at the same time.

Yeah, the 70-72 trucks keep the parking lights on while driving while the 67-69's dont. So the jumper just makes the 67-69 trucks operate like the 70+ trucks. Diagram in like the 3rd or 4th post down.
