    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The headlight worked yesterday, I swear it did. All I did was hook up the turn signals & now the headlight won't work. I checked the bulb & then replaced it & checked all the fuses with my multimeter, everything seems fine. Am I overlooking something?

Cut your self some slack and list what year and model of bike you have.
You have a better chance of good folks responding who have the exact same model.
keep smiling.
 
You need to check that rat nest of wiring in your headlight bucket and find the one you pulled apart by accident.
 
heheheh, I have/had a simillar problem on my GS850, the headlight decided to stop working on the low beams one day... took apart the ring and discovered where all of the damn connectors are hidden.

I had power at the connector and the bulb was still good, cleaned and reseated the connection and it seems to be OK now.
 
Might want to test the switch...sometimes stuff likes to seep into things and keeps it from making good contact... only a few screws hold it together so it is simple enough to see if it needs a cleaning.

Good luck
 
I have the same problem only I don't have any power at the switch or the harness that fits onto the bulb. My bike is in my sig
 
my 78 750's just started doing something simular. out of the blue my head light was on highbeams and that was it. couldnt turn it off with the switch or change the beams. turned out to be a lose wire in the plug under the tank...just a thought. good luck
 
Its probably that stupid switch for the headlights, turns out the problem on my bike was bad contacts on the switch...
 
Mine turned out to be on the fuse box. The fuse contact needed to be cleaned.
