No front light.
During a week long trip I just got back from the front light stopped working on my 2007 S2. (both the high and low beam)
The blinker works (I taped the button in so I could been seen in the fog that followed me through most of the trip ).There is no power on the green blueish wire that leads up to the High/low switch. That wire is supposed to give power when the engine is running. I have no idea where it gets it from... If there is a rely or something that feeds current to it when the engine is running or where it starts. As you can see English is not my first language, but hopefully you can understand what I am talking about. Thanks in advance. |

Re: No front light.
To me it sounds exactly like a fuse. Take your seat off and the right side plastic cover and your fuse box should be there(I haven't looked at mine in forever so I apologize if I am wrong). Once you get to the fuse panel, just start looking for a blown fuse (black or burnt looking instead of clear). Hope this helps!

Re: No front light.
Sure check under the side pod for the fuse first. Its fuse number one from the left or rear of the bike. If you have power on both sides, move on to the relay. If I remember right its on the front fairing. If you have power in but none out its either the relay or the switch.

Re: No front light.
The fuse is fine.. The light works fine if I use the blinker (Operated by the left index finger).
Does the green wire that you weld into, when doing the "front light mod", on 2007 go into a relay somewhere under the fairing I am not able to follow it down to where it starts. |

Re: No front light.
So you are saying the headlamp works if you hold down the Pass switch? If so it would probley be the headlamp switch.
Let me make sure this is right so we are all on the same page. Bike running. You have done the headlamp mod so that when you are running you have two lowbeams and on highbeam you have one low and one highbeam or did you do the one where on highbeam you have both lowbeams and the highbeam active? Describe the exact lighting you have. IE On low beam I have no lights what so ever. On high beam I have no lights what so ever. On low beam I have one lit bulb and one dark bulb This will help cut down on confusion.

Re: No front light.
If I'm reading this correctly, your headlight works when you turn on the blinkers?
![]() If this is the case, the headlight mod you did, you tapped into the wrong wire on the harness. Try removing that wire at the headlight to see if it all clears up. The blinker operation is completely separate functionallity and electrically wise. They do not affect each other.

Re: No front light.
Yes that is correct. I taped the button to be visible through the rest of my trip. That gave me high beam on one light.
The problem is that I don't have any front lights at all. Before the lights failed I had low beam on both lights. On high I had one High and one low, the Mod has worked fine for almost a year. Last edited by kalli; 07-10-2008 at 04:18 PM.. |

Re: No front light.
Let's try this one more time. You said you had to tape a switch down to make the high beam stay "ON". From the picture, indicate by the number, which switch was that?

Re: No front light.
None of these buttons. it is the one on the front Not visible on this picture. Would probably be number 5 :-).
I did change the fuse to be sure but no luck. |
