Wiring in headlamp 400/4
Nurse Julie:
Hi Chaps.
I had a slight problem with the handlebar switches. Could not get horn to work all the time and no main beam up and no headlamp flasher / passing light either. Took left hand switch apart, cleaned, re sprung the springs a bit. Horn now working, now have main beam, a mystry to me as I thought that all happened on the right hand side!!. Also had spaghetti wiring out of headlamp bowl, to check connections etc. Anyways, the passing light is still not working, does it only work when engine running?.
Ta in advance

The Pa switch puts 12v on to the blue wire (which is main beam). The engine don't need to be running, just the key turned to the on position. It sounds like the switch isn't quite right after all that fettling

How do you know the head light flasher on the horn button worked before you started tinkering ?
