Wallrat Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 I haven't seen your previous post. Whats the problem been so far and what have you done already to fix it? Quote
wooten Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Posted January 5, 2006 i havent done anything to fix the problem the damn lights hasnt worked since i got it and they finally worked the other day for some odd reason Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 I had the same problem, and it ended up being a short in the wiring. One of the wires insulation had been rubbed through, where it contacted the frame. Would work sometimes, and then I would be riding at night with the lights, and bam, no lights for 10-30 seconds. It really sucked. I found it and taped it up, then re-routed the wire. Quote
pimpeinkc Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 start by checking your bulbs, with a meter, then start working your way back till you find power, sould only be one of a few things or maybe a few of the few things.. lol ... could be's 1) bulbs are bad, even bad bulbs can fake it for a while it the filament touches however, this is unlikly 2) dirt or corrosion in the on off switch.... take it off and pull it apart to check, rebuild and use electrical grease inside 3) short in wire,,, like stated above,,, wiggle wires and see if they come on 4) crap in a plug or plug not put together tight,,,,, it is most likely a short or a plug, maybe the light fixture....

wooten Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Posted January 6, 2006 i have already put in a new switch and ran a battery straight to the headlight plugs and they work so it must be from the plugs to the switch thanks Quote
Wallrat Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Stock lights or aftermarket? Did you hook the battery up to the bulbs or some point on the wires? Reason I ask is cuz I just fixed Watkins Torch Lights. One of em was running off n on and really weak. Pulled out the light and the set screw holding the wires on was missing so it was just bouncing around in there. Quote
wooten Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Posted January 9, 2006 i hooked the battery into the wiring harness at the light socket and the worked Quote
