Low Beam Headlight Switch

Low Beam Headlight Switch
When I turn my low beam headlights on sometimes they won't come on.
The high beams will work. I put a new switch in & thought that
corrected the problem. The only thing that seems to work is to wiggle
the cannon plug then it will work for a while & then it will not work
& this is when he bus has not been moved. The plug is P20. I was
wandering if any one has a drawing to tell what the # of that wire is
from the low beam head light switch or how would be a good way to find
the bad wire?

Low Beam Headlight Switch
Don:

The low beams are a green wire marked 0 and the high beams are red wire
marked 0. The head light switch supplies power to the dimmer switch and
from the dimmer switch the high or low beams are selected, not the dash
head light switch. If you have the head light mod then the dimmer switch
selects the coil of the high or low beam turning them on or off and power
to the head lights is straight from the battery through a 30 am cb.

I would start at the dimmer switch.

I just thought about it & I said that wrong . It is the parking lights that is giving me the trouble. Not the low & high beams. Sorry about the confusion.
