73 Headlight switch: Looking for a schematic/wiring diagram

[Haasman]

Replacing the headlight switch in the 73 911S. Does anyone have a headlight switch wiring diagram/schematic? I want to make sure I have properly moved the wires from the old switch correctly to the new switch.

Question- Is the 73 wiring at the headlight switch any different than the earlier cars, such as on the links provided?

Small difference. First diagram is '71, second is '73. You can see the additional wire, Bk/Rd to the emergency flasher(33) with a resistor(96) where it changes to a brown wire. You can see it in my previous post showing my 1973.5T switch.

That seems to be it. Thanks. I've obviously have one of the wires in the wrong place. When the headlight switch is on the brake lights come on!

I'll double-check again.

Make sure and disconnect your battery when working on the switch

Yes, always good to be reminded. Seeing how that heavy red wire also reminded me. One weird thing happened: I disconnected both batteries, usually fold the braided ground wire under the metal battery hold-down bracket. I noticed the truck light still on .... it seems the metal hold-down bracket will conduct electricity. Not going to do that again.

Still working on the correct locations for the wires on the switch. Can't figure out why the brake lights came on with when the headlight switch on......
