Sierra Column Switches

Here we go again -

Main starting point can be seen in this thread :-

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=49767

On re-checking the O/S switch, (lights & wipers), I discovered that the pinout wire colour codes are the complete inverse of those shown in Razman's much-sourced diagram.

Did Ford make any such changes during the Sierra prodn run? More importantly, has anyone got the table of wiring colour codes for PWS vs Ford, for this switch?
(Already have this info for N/S switch).

As ever, any helpful info welcome.

P.S. Here's a pic of my O/S switch set-up :-

There are two versions with different wirring diagrams.

the code on the switches tells you wich yo have. something like 88gg or like that.

From the schematic shown in my initial post above, the side lights connection is self-evident.

So where is the connection for the headlamps?
Same switch operates to turn them on, so which pin is used?

It is a trick answer to a straight question - the feed to the headlamp comes from the dipswitch / indicator connector.

Thanks for your replies.

Quote "...'the feed to the headlamp comes from the dipswitch / indicator connector."

As I presumed it must do. But the headlamps are switched on using the lights (O/S) switch. What connects from the N/S switch to the O/S?

Could it be the 56 pin link (Brown/Black)?
