I know there is a similar post but I really wanted a new discussion based on what I have done so far. This has me really stumped.
The headlights stopped working both dipped and full beam. This is what I've done so far and everything seems to be working except the headlights. However, the flas/pass switch seems to work OK.
1) Checked the bulbs. They work fine and there is continuity on the filaments and they light up when connected directly to the battery.
2) Replaced the bulbs just to make sure. Still not working.
3) Checked the fuses. All OK.
4) Checked the voltage across the battery. It is fine. It shows around 12.6 V
5) Fired up the bike and checked the battery voltage. It shows higher than 14 volts.
6) Checked the contacts at the end of the lights cable between the contacts and the battery. They seem fine as there is continuity.
7) Checked the continuity between the points themselves and they are fine. There is good continuity.
8) Fired up the bike and did the same and they show continuity.
9) Traced the loom and checked the contacts. They all work fine.
I also tried something else not related to the headlights and that too did not work. I got an indicator buzzer that beeps when the indicators are on. This is to enable me to hear a beeping sounds incase I forget to switch them off (happened a few times). Connected the red wires to the positive wire of the indicators and the black one to earth.
The indicators work fine but not the buzzer. Connected the black wire to the negative of the battery directly; still nothing. Connected the red wires of the buzzer to the positive of the battery directly (each one individually) and the buzzer worked fine.
Like I said, it has me stumped.
I checked the voltage drop across the battery etc, nothing. Everything is fine.
I've done everything that I can think of and that has been recommended. Anyone any ideas before I take it to a bike spark?
This is the buzzer I connected
