Headlight circuit

[davidon]

Anyone know the wire gauge for the headlight circuit?

Not very big. I want to say 14 gauge and maybe smaller (probably more like 16 gauge).

Use this and take a caliper to measure thickness. I agree, either 14 or 16.

The fuse for that circuit is only 10amp. The biggest circuit of all (15amp) is the fan circuit which is MAYBE 10-12 gauge on the feed wire to the sending unit. I was just playing with the entire harness the last two days getting the pulling tractor wired up. I eliminated a ton of wires on it.

Wow in PL we are messuring the wires with mm2.

I can say that headlight wires are 1mm2 so max 10A for that wire.
The current rule says: 10A per 1mm2.
