Marcarl Posted June 26, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2007 Could be the fuse or the fuse holder. Check the fuse with a meter and then use a piece of jumper wire to replace the fuse. If the fuse is good and it works with the jumper, you are in line for a new fuse block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted June 26, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2007 Bad ground to the tail light assembly?? Oops, no, you say that the brake lights are working. Well, check the Blue/White wire for 12 volts coming to the taillight. If not there, then check for 12 volts on the blue line coming to the running lights and into the dash. It may be the notorious bad solder joint on the dash connector that makes our fuel gauge, high beams, etc act up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeS Posted June 26, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 26, 2007 Ground is the same ground for Brake, and Tail. So if brake lights work the ground for the two bulbs should be OK. Check for Voltage, on Input side of the " tail " fuse. Do the marker lights work on Front ?? If so, you have 4 bulbs not powered. There is a 3 wire Plug, between the Ing Switch, and the Tail light Fuse. If no power to fuse, the plug could be the problem, Or the Ing switch. ( if 4 bulbs out, might be ing sw. ) Power from the fuse goes direct to the Two front marker bulbs. ( bypass's the computer monitor unit ) But for the Tail lights it goes to the computer monitor unit, then Out and to rear of bike for the two tail light bulbs. there is a plug, about a 12 wire plug, located under the passenger seat, left side, pull this apart and clean the contacts. Problem might be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The computer seems to be at fault here. Thanks again! Scott:scorched: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
