Electrical Problem - Help!
« on: April 03, 2008, 08:57:45 PM »

Took my '07 Jester to dealer last Tue for tire problem (see seperate post in that section) and when pulled up to service door could see from the reflection that my left passing lamp and left front turn signal were not illuminated.  Thought it strange that both would fail but dealer had no time to check and I said I would.

Well I have some sort of electrical problem - no power to either of those lights.  Swapped them to the right side and bulbs are good so they are not getting power on left side.  Even though no seperate fuse for just those two lights I checked them anyway and all are good.

Don't have electrical manual and not that good with schematics anyway.  Anyone have any ideas.  BTW I'm running full Panacea system - all four turn signals and brake light.  What I can't figure is if there is a common power wire to passing & turn signal up front. 

Also had the WO Chubby 575s and Heat Demons installed in Dec.  Sure hope nothing is in there that could be messed up.  Any help greatly appreciated.

If both spot and running, you didn't say anything about turn, don't work, I'd suspect a bad ground. There are 4 wires that go into the combination. Black is ground, gray is the spot light and the other two are for the running and turn function.

Since it is totally dead, I'm thinking bad ground. One wire does both.

Thanks chief.  On the turn signal it is totally dead - no running, no turn light.  I'll check the ground.  Found schematic in CUSE supplement manual.  There is a connector from the fairing harness to the LH front turn signal & spot (31LA).  Guess it is possible that it was not snapped together good and has come loose.  I'll check that and the ground tomorrow.  Gawd I hate f***ing around in that fairing.  So dang many wires and so much chit to wade through.

Jerry,

I went back and re-read your first post to clear something up. When you said you swapped to the right, I missed it that you were just swapping bulbs. Duh. I was thinking you had swapped the whole assembly and it worked on the right side.

I think you're on the right track with the connection not being snapped in. It's the black 4-place connector on the silver speaker support bracket. I think that will be the culprit. :2vrolijk_21:

Problem solved.  Connector in fairing (31LA) was indeed unplugged.  Don't know if it was not fully snapped together from tech doing WO 575 install or when I did remote for power locks but in any case easy find and fix.  I do like that. :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks for your help Chuck.  Really appreciate it.
