weird scenario - when i turn on the lights, high beams are on by default

[toadster]

I have the ididit relay with the RT turn signal, and when i pull the stalk to turn on the lights, I get high beams by default

I can hit the momentary switch on the RT turn signal and it goes to low beam

what is wired wrong?

Sounds like you might have the two headlight power wires backwards. Check to make sure Ididit purple low beam -> RF harness RED LOW BEAM and Ididit green high beam -> RF harness BRN HIGH BEAM. If not there, check your wiring to the headlights themselves.

Maybe it's in the Russ Thompson Turn Signal. Those two blue wires maybe.

The two blue wires are to the momentary switch on the end of the stalk. Switch is normally open and closed with the button pushed. Some use it for the horn. For the Ididit headlight controller, one wire to the controller, one to ground. Nothing about it would cause the low and high beam to be reversed.

This would work and would certainly be easiest to do, but will the cause the high beam lamp on the dash to be on when low beam is selected. Also will cause an issue if high beam flash function is needed.

Best swap the hi / low beam output wires at the Ididit relay.
