#79730 Heavy (User) If you're going to play - play to win! Senior Boarder Posts: 254 Passing Lamps Dead 7 Months, 1 Week ago   Okay, all of the sudden my passing lamps have decided they don't want to work. There is a switch on one side of the left lamp which I normally turn off when cranking the bike. Once it is running I switch it back on. Anyway, today I switched it on and no lights. Loose wire? Fuse? Beats the heck out of me. Am I missing something (other than light) here?   Logged     Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79733 HoustonCH73 (User) fists to the wind... Expert Boarder Posts: 512 Re:Passing Lamps Dead 7 Months, 1 Week ago   could be either one of those things you mention. check the fuse first at that's the easiest. after that open the light w/ the switch and check connections. I never turn mine off unless by accident when I'm washing the bike. If you have an ok battery then it should be able to handle it even when cranking.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #79735 Frankie_G (User) GODSPEED Senior Boarder Posts: 205 Re:Passing Lamps Dead 7 Months, 1 Week ago   Mine done the same thing, I pulled into the service station one day and noticed in the glass window my reflection only had a headlight and no driving lights. When I tugged on the bundle of wires going into the headlight bucket they came on. So when I got home I removed the headlight and seen where the black wire comes from the driving lights into the headlight bucket and ties into the black headlight main wire. It had came loose from vibration I assume, I snugged the wires up, made sure the driving lights were working and retaped the wires, and no more problems.

That's the way mine works.   Logged     CAGUAMA-Big and Cool   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79740 Frankie_G (User) GODSPEED Senior Boarder Posts: 205 Re:Passing Lamps Dead 7 Months, 1 Week ago   My driving lights are wired to the headlight, so when I turn on my switch all the lights are on. But I do have a on/off switch on the mount, so I can turn them on or off.   Logged     SLED ZEPPELIN   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79741 Clifford (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 499 Re:Passing Lamps Dead 7 Months, 1 Week ago   Tealw1 wrote: I thought that if the lamps are wired correctly they shouldn't come on until the bike is started. That's the way mine works. 07's work that way. Early bikes don't If they are on the headlight fuse and the headlight works then the fuse is not the problem. If they have their own fuse then that might be it. A bad switch or a loose conection will do it. They are usually wired to either the high or low beam, not both; try the other beam.

Gold Boarder Posts: 895 Re:Passing Lamps Dead 7 Months, 1 Week ago   If your lamps are new and they are the sealed beam, I would check behind the right lamp. (As you're sitting on the bike...) When I installed my passing lampsthe black, or ground lead was "clipped" on the terminal but not secured with the screw... so eventually the terminal clip worked loose and the lamp failed to light...   Logged     Over 50...?

The wires break pretty easy. Check for any rubbed wires where the wires come out of the bar and go into the lights too.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #79754 StarCruiser06 (User) If you can't be with the one you love...
