Thanks for the heads up. I have been using Craigs list and have moved some of the parts.

That looks like a Dodge Ram headlight switch on the DSE panel. Am I correct?

Well actually it came from a Dodge Dakota, ( My daily driver) not sure if it the same as the Ram but I would think so. I hated the stock camaro switch so i chucked that thing and wanted something more modern.

I like it. It looks really good. It should control the fog lights too when you pull the knob out right? Do you remember how you wired it. I would really like to know.

One thing you need to know is that I have friends at Chrysler that helped me with the switch. My friend was able to provide me with the connector that plugs into the back along with a wiring diagram. But you do not need the connector to make one work, you can add individual blade connectors in the back on the pins you need and seal them up with epoxy and add a molec connector from there. One thing you also need to know is that this switch was intented to work with a computer so it relies on the inputs (low voltage)from the switch to make things operate. Since we do not have a computer to tell what to do in our application you need to add diods and cross wire some of the switch functions to make it work. Since at the time i was in a time crunch to get the vehicle finished I ended with the following.

The parking lamp function is the main beam and then the fog lamp switch turns on the running lamps, and when you rotate to the main beam position the high beam turn on this works with no diods added, the reason why I did this was to be able to have high and low while the running lamps were on, the switch is set up in a way that only allows the running lamp position to stay on but once you rotate it they would turn off so i used the fog lamp ( pull out) which works with all the positions of the switch for the running lamps. This worked out perfect for me since I did not have a fog lamps. Now you may want to set up differently but this is what I did.

I can pull my wiring diagram out and get the info and I can send this to you if you need it.

Let me know

Yes please send it to me. Electronics are my specialty. I want to use one of these switches for mine if you don't mind me stealing your idea. Have you had a chance to look at the newer 2010+ Ram switches? They look really nice. I might have to use one of those.

Here is the the way i wired as described in the previous thread. rotate once and the main beam comes on, pull out for parking lamp and the rotate once more and that is high beam, fog lamp position is still pulled out for parking lamps. Then as you rotate off all the positions cancel and the fog lamp switch closes. One thing I need to mention is that I am using a ISIS power master cell and this allows for this type of low voltage switch to make the lights work.

The second diagram is the circuit for the Dodge Dakota. I can email you larger files this site does not allow larger images, if needed send email and forward them over to you. I am sure you will figure it out.

Thanks for the wiring diagrams. I really appreciate you going through the work to post it here. I will definitely put it to good use. Those switches are going for a really good price on ebay. I'm going to go ahead and order one.

I am happy to help you out and i hope it works out as well for you as it did for me. Let me knowif you have any additional pinouts that work better than what I did. If you have any more questions let me know and i will be glad to help. Here is another detail item I am adding to the car. A small emblem " Made in Detroit" This was made from a keychain and i am adding this to the lower fenders for an accent. Check out the image.

That's a really cool idea. How do you plan on mounting it? Are you going to recess it into the fender or just apply some double sided adhesive?
