Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all i have a 1981 2dr range rover and after removing some wires that had nothing to do with or connected to anything i now only have full beam when holding the stick back. This also has duel batteries and a 4.4 p76 engine in it if makes any difference. any help is good as i keep missing out on night drives

Do you have parking lights?

My guess it's the small light switch.
It supplies power to the brown wire input to the hi/lo switch.

However if you hold the hi/lo switch back (flash) then power to lights comes from the big purple wire which is permanently powered from the battery via a fuse.

Or one of the shit bullet plugs that you bumped while thumbing around under the dash

No parking lights either and i only removed wires from under the bonnet

so its either the main light switch or the feed to it.

Ive not looked in another rangie but is the light switch on the left on like a pull switch mine is but im not sure its standard or not

No its a stubby lever same as the driving light stalk on the rh side, they have a habit of burning out and melting the shitty plastic bit that holds the brass contacts.
