Hi there

 

Facing a problem in my bike. I have no front auxiliary and tail light. I assume fuse is OK because they do work when I set the Ignition to 'Parking', but with ignition ON I cannot get them to work.

 

 

Thanks for any advice,

José

How are the non-working lights powered? Directly on the battery? By a fuse/relay? Any other possibility?

It's the original front presence light and the tail light. They work with the ignition on 'Parking' but not with ignition 'On'.

Is the rear brake light work? Is the problem with the non-function lights  a new problem, or did they never work while you had  the bike

 

Come to think of it... isn`t the 2002 model with a light switch on the left handlebar?  If so, could there be a solution to the problem?

The rear brake light does work. I do have a switch on the right handlebar. The panel light does work, but not small light on front neither on the tail.

parking light is a different circuit I think as it just powers those lights.

 

just recheck the fuses by pulling out and cleaning, then trace the live feed to find any break in the circuit
