dimmer switch

[FC-V8]

Hi All
         Could anyone tell me in which order the wires hook back up on the dimmer switch it has 3 terminals.
1 with a single wire,1 with a two wires & 1 with three wires but in which order from the top ?

Hi Glenn,
The wiring diagram suggests that the light blue single wire (power from the light switch) goes to the top, the three light green wires (High Beam) go to the middle & the two tan wires (low beam) go to the bottom.
Extract from the wiring diagram below.

Hope this helps

*** Please note; checked this when got home - it is wrong. Blue goes to bottom & Green to top.
Please refer to later post

       Thanks for that. I see the wiring diagram but I was not sure if the positions were correct or if that was just the way it shows in the diagram. But if you wired yours up like it shows then that good enough for me.
Cheers

Hi Glenn,
I checked this when I got home to make sure and found that mine was wired differently to what I stated - my apologies - had the "apprentice" do this part and he said he followed the book!
Please refer to the correct diagram below. Wiring it the other way results in the low beams not working.

          I was wondering could the original diagram be correct & that your switch was put in upside down if that is possible?
          Which side of the switch do the wires connect eg driver or passenger side.
          Could anyone else also shed some light on this?

Glenn,
connectors/wires are on the passenger side of the switch.

Glenn,
If you put the connections to the drivers side of the car the handbrake cable lays awful close. Thats how my old girl was when I first got it. Made me feel awful nervous when I saw it.
