Electro-Phile Crits Vol. 3

[ensys]

Well Folks, I'm back, confident that all here can get past previous personal issues, to lend a helping hand toward finding a workable solution for an issue of our common interest in the beloved Zs.

I believe this latest Version reflects the very helpful advice most generously offered previously, and I am hopeful it is much closer to being successful.

Adjustments in this iteration::

Correction of a graphics error (my Bad) that wrongly depicted the low beam feed to the relay as a "tap" instead of the intended "diversion".   Mr.J, I now see where you were coming from; and of course, based on the evidence I provided (again,my Bad), you were, at least on this point, spot on.

Corrected an error by changing the default of the beam relay from "coil-energized" to "not-energized" (i.e., low beam default).

Moved the routing of power from the Fusible Link to the hi beam circuit in the switch, to the input side of the connector, to reduce the number of connector pins that must be removed from the plug. Simplify, simplify...

Added a new chassis ground for the beam relay feeds, instead of pointlessly running the currents back thru the combo switch to reach ground. This lessenes the current work load on the switch and simplifies the required wiring. Thus, I can reduce excess (new) wiring, enhancing the elegance of the solution.

Thus, the clown willingly once again climbs upon the dunk-tank seat with the hopeful expectation that the sharp-shooters in the crowd will give me any splash I deserve. Call it learning with a bath; I can only end up cleaner than when I started, my idea of a viable definition of learning,

GentlePersons, once again, I thank you for your attention.

Gentle Readers:

Please note that the image in the post above has been edited (replaced) to more accurately reflect the intended configuration.

Specifically, the first posted image erred in its depiction of the power feed into the high beam circuit to activate the beam relay coil.

My apologies for the posting error.
