Hi,

The wiring schematics are broken into two sections, headlamps and exterior lighting. The rear tail lamp issue will be under exterior lighting. The headlamp will be under headlamp.

_______________

Pics 1 and 2 are for the headlamp. I cut the pic in half to make it more readable. I did, however, overlap them so you can follow it.


Pics 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the exterior lighting schematics. Again, I cut them in half to make it more readable, and I overlapped them as well.

Here is a link you may find helpful as well:

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. If you have a chance, let me know what you find.

Take care and God Bless,
Joe

Sir, considering the 2nd diagram, it seems that the H-LP relay has no function since the circuit is ground by switch, am I right? If I am what is the function of the relay?

The relay gets ground at the left front fender.

What I am saying is that the whether the relay ground or not it won't stop the headlights from coming on.

If the relay doesn't have ground, it will prevent the light from working. No power will be transmitted through the relay.
