91 2WD Westy with SA round headlights and a goWesty high power headlight relay setup.
I measured voltage of 11.5 volts on the white headlight wire at the headlight socket.
I checked the ground port on the socket to the body and had continuity.
Then I found continuity from the white (high beam) wire to the body.
I’m confused.
No continuity between yellow (low beam) wire and body.
Any ideas? |

What problem are you trying to solve?
Are you measuring for continuity with all headlight connectors unplugged?
The blue dash highbeam bulb is just a normal type bulb and it provides a path to ground so that is likely what you are seeing on the high beam wire.

Thanks for the reply.
I was surprised to see the hi-beam wire going to ground.
I hadn't thought about the blue indicator as a grounding source.
I was also wondering about why I had 11.5 volts at the headlight socket unplugged when the battery was reading 13.7v.
but everything lights up and seems to work just fine.
I installed JW Speaker 5-3/4" inboard and Peterson 7" outerboard.

| With your headlights on what is the voltage at the #30 connections (one end of fuses 7, 8, & 9) to the fuse box? |
