Motorcycle Repair: electrical, loose wire, low beam


Question
Mike,
I'm putting my '04 Fatboy back together after a minor teardown for cleaning, fluid change and new front fork installation. For some reason, my front headlight doesn't work when I turn on the ignition. My front turn signals come on and function properly. I've checked all my fuses good and I seem to be getting voltage everywhere except the headlight. Everything except the back fender is properly plugged in and double checked.
Any ideas on what I might have overlooked?
Thanks for your time... J.R.

Answer
Sounds liek you have a loose wire. Start at the headlight and check for power from there back. Go from the hedlight to the hi/low beam switch and then follow it back tot he power source and you should find the problem
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
