Hi would appreciate anyones help here, I am going mad, I have 2 problems, first is that my tail light does not work, brake light is fine, and tail light works when ignition switch is set to park so I assume buld is OK as park is using the less bright filament as would the tail light, but not in run with 'P' or 'H' position selector switch on, the other problem is the sidelight in the headlamp is not working, same situation, when ignition switch is set to park it works, but not in side light mode!!!
I have found plenty of wiring diagrams but none show the sidelight in the headlamp unit or the separation of the tail and brake light. Any help would be appreciated.
In my headlight I have 1 large buld in the centre, which has 2 filaments, both are working for high and low beam, then there is another small bulb below the larger one which has 1 wire going to the centre and then a ground, this is what I am refering to as the side light, and this is the one which comes on when the ignition key is in the park position, on the handle bar switch I have 2 positions one is labeled 'P' and the switch lever goes up slightly in this position into an inset part of the groove, and the other position is 'H', which assume to mean 'Headlight'. I took the bike for an MOT recently and the guy at the garage told me that the 'P' switch position should turn on the side lights, (the smaller bulb below the main one in the headlight). this is not working, and in fact to rear light does not come on in that position either, but it is also not working in the main position so that could be a red herring.
