Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Low beam not working after new signal install

I installed new front turn signals yesterday and when I left for work this morning I noticed that my low beam is not working. All four signals function, the high beam works, the parking light works just not the low beam. I replaced it with a new bulb and that did not make a difference. Any Ideas?

I'd hazard a guess that you dislodged the low beam wire in the left grip switch block. The high beam tells you that the power to the switch block is good leaving the power from the low switch the culprit, assuming the lamp is good (and you should check to be certain.) You might have a dislodged low lead in the headlamp bucket instead, both spots are due an inspection and a test light or volt meter will be handy.

Thanks Oldroadie, that is exactly what it is. One of the wires broke at the wire harness connector. Now I just figure out how to get that pin out to reattach it.

A tiny jewlers driver inserted from the non cable end will depress the tang allowing you to withdraw the pin.
