Headlight problem.

(1/4) > >>

Bradders:
Morning.
Whilst riding home from work last night my dipped headlight stopped working, switched on to main beam, that didn’t work either! The only way I could get the headlight to work was the pass/ flash light switch.
Was wondering if anyone had come across this before or where I should look first.
Thanks in advance.
Chris.

Before blaming the switch I would check the earth side of the switch first - especially if the clock illumination went out as well.

Bradders:
Thanks Ted.
I should of mentioned, all other lights including the clock illumination are working fine.

Deano400:
Check the earth from the bulb (connector inside the headlamp) and fuse No. 2 (the middle one I think).

taysidedragon:
Since the main beam is working on the headlight flasher I would suspect the light switch or it's connections. First place to look would be inside the headlight bowl and then the 'bag ' of connectors under the left side of the tank where the switch wires connect to the loom. If no luck by then it's probably a problem inside the switch itself.
