Motorcycle Repair: Lights, lighting circuit, light bucket


Question
I have a 1976 Ironhead, the brights work on my bike but the low beam and running light doesnt work. I took the high/low beam switch off and checked for power and i have power. I do have the break light working otherwise. Thanks

Answer
Are the bulbs of the affected lights good? The 76 ironhead has a wire connection on the back of the head light bucket that might need to be pushed together tighter so contact is made on the rear lighting circuit. Check continuity on the low beam wire between the low beam pin on the high/low switch down to the female spade connector on the headlight pigtail to see if the wire is broken somewheres in the scheam.
