Hi all, My first post here and I am hoping you can stop me going crazy trying to fix a something that may or may not me a problem! I have a late Herald 13/60 that I have almost finished restoring and noticed today that when I flashed the main beam, all the sidelights came on too! I spent hours checking the wiring and switches etc and noticed it only happens when the master light switch in the dash is off and the column stalk is in the main beam position. The flasher circuit portion of the switch is fed from a brown and the switch portion of the switch is fed from a brown/red wire. When you have the switch in the main beam position, it links the two halves of the switch together and the feed from the flasher side back feeds through the switch side and thus into the sidelight circuit. Now I'm guessing you wouldn't drive around with the master light switch off and the column switch in the main beam position, but you can have them in this config and being able to "flash" your side/tail lights doesn't sound right to me?!?! Any help would be gratefully received! Thanks Shaun
