Bus Electical System

Post by JERRY »

1972 Silver Eagle Model 05. Have owned, 17 years, It was converted in 1965.
Headlights/taillights/running lights. Inop. Flip switch and nothing. what I think I need first is the electrical panels outside under the drivers window. The whole thing would be good, but I only need the area where the fuss is for the light. Dose not look like any changes have been made.
Hope someone can help. Runs and well, but gets a little harder in the dark. (A full moon help a lot) Thanks :!:

Hi Jerry. Welcome to our forum. I moved this to the General Eagle Chat forum, since I think it fits better there.

The common components for the headlights, taillights and running lights are the light switch itself and a relay in the compartment below the drivers window.

I strongly suspect that you have a relay that has gone bad.

I have included a wiring diagram that may or may relate to your panel. There are several configurations of this panel. In that diagram, it looks like relay three is controls the components you mention. Hopefully yours will be labeled.

You can test the relay by removing one of the other ones and trying it in the headlight relay socket.

Wow Joe, you would think I would remember that post. I had done a search for "wiring diagram" and not "wiring schematic".

Anyway, here is the link to that thread: http://eagles-international.net/forums/ ... 39&p=30734

Not trying to be an intelligent donkey or anything, but I think I see where the problem is...
