I don't understand how the light switch works on my 2012 Heritage. If I click the upper setting on the light switch it is the high beam. If I move the switch to the middle setting it is still high beam. If I select the lower setting it goes to low beam. And it doesn't seem to matter whether the aux light switch is on or off.
I'm still trying to understand the bolded sentence. My switch is a rocker type switch that pivots in middle. There is no "middle setting". Press and release the top for high beam. Press and release the bottom for low beam. How is the switch moved to the middle setting?

What you are referring to as the "bottom" or low beam setting, he refers to as the middle.
In his explanation:
the top is the high beam 'on' setting
the middle is the low beam 'on' setting
the bottom is pressing and releasing the 'low beam' setting to flash the brights
Ok Doc
Here is a question for you. The left-hand control has many functions i.e. turn signal, trip, horn, hi-lo beam yet there are really only 2 wires for all that [red/white and black/white]; how is that accomplished? Just curious...... I like magic, but is that little circuit board behind the rocker switches really that smart?
