Ok, What did I DO!! HELP ME!!

Ok, i took the two screws out of the light switch box and took it off the handle bars so i can clean the inside, as it was all gunked up and everything and my right turn signal would work only part of the time,
NOW i have a different problem, my headlight won't work.. i didn't touch the top part which is where the headlight hi and low beam switch is at as that looked pretty cleaned, i just cleaned the bottom part where the horn, and turn signal switch is at..

Can some one help me get the headlight working again??

 

Check the fusebox.
May have poor connection at the fuse ends. Or a bsd fuse.
If it is original, I'd consider replacing the whole fuse box.

 

Coastie:

If you didn't pull the fuse while working on that circuit ... oods are the fuse popped and your lights are out.

Or ... coincidentally, the stock fuse panel is "crapping the linen" which is pretty common ... too.

Or maybe the bulb acted as a fuse and decided to go bye-bye ... or, it was jealous because you were spending so much time with turn signals it killed itself.

If there was no smoke or smell ... I wouldn't worry ... it will be an easy fix.

 

lucky no smoke no smell, as i had it turned off, and battery disconnected as i worked (don't want to get elercrticed while doing this.. that be a bad day and hard to explain to my command!!!)

but i'll check the fuse and see whats up.. thanks Rick and Dan!

 

I replied in your other thread. I would be money that you pinched the wire putting the switch housing back together.

 

Now that I noticed you said you didn't take the top part of the switch apart... well I wouldn't bet money on it anymore, but you still probably pinched that wire somewhere.

 

I got my Max cheap because of a pinched wire, don't let it happen to you!

 

Pull the bulb and check continuity!! I thought I had an issue the other day as well head lamp worked.... then no worky.... worked, now burnt out! Replaced it and all is well again?! Good Luck!

 

ok.. ha.. well now i got the turn signal working all right, excpet now its making a click noise it never made before, it makes a several small clicks then the normal clicking when its on that tells me that its on, and the headlight doesn't work, what did i do


all i wanted to do was clean the light switch housing.. and now this is happening.. someone help me please...
