In the home stretch of my 4.0L Swap and I've run into an issue when wiring up the headlights.
94 Explorer is the donor and I pulled all the wiring.
When I connected the dash headlight plug to the headlight switch, the high beams would come on in Running Light position and Head Light position.

So then I wired the plug to the switch one wire at a time to figure out where the problem was.
Connected B2 and R to the switch, pull the plunger once, the running lights turn on
Connected B1 and H to the switch, pull the plunger again, the headlights turn on
With just these 4 wires, the High Beam lever on the steering wheel works as expected, pull toward you and you get flash to pass, push away from you and it toggles on the brights.
Then, I connected "I" to the switch, which is supposed to control the brightness of dash lights and then all I get is brights when in running light and headlight position.
I put a switch in-between I to show the affect it has on the headlights when connected to the headlight switch.
Where the hell does I go?
