HELP... Headlight Switch Wiring

I started my car today and the lights automatically came on, then smoke started coming from the headlight switch. I disconnected the battery and yanked the switch out. When I did two red wires came disconnected from the switch along with a brown one? Can someone look at their headlight switch and tell me where the colors go????

PLEASE>>..

Thank you!

Re: HELP... Headlight Switch Wiring

why the hell did you "rip" the switch out if you already unhooked your battery? i'd like to help you, but i don't feel like tearing apart my dash. look around on the net, i'm sure there are diagrams.

Re: HELP... Headlight Switch Wiring

I actually ripped the switch out first, then it kept smoking, so found the tools to disconnect the battery... Looks like the wire that melted was a ground, but it melted to a positive wire

I've been looking around the net for about 2 hrs and no luck.. my hayes manual is a piece of !@#$ it's diagram is wrong for the 98+ camaros

I went to my local GM dealership today and they let me look at the shop manual for the wiring schematic. I came home and fixed the camaro. Runs great again
