Coming home from the mountains last night and enjoying the ride until I cruzed through town and a good cager informed me I had no tail lights. I changed a burned out fuse this morning but still no tail lights. Any suggestions?
+! for a short to ground. Since you replaced the fuse, check at the socket and see if you have voltage there. Oh, and make sure the bulb is good.
If you have no voltage, start back along the harness and find where the wire is broken, rubbed, or could be contacting metal.
Generally the brake/tail light wiring problems stem from the harness under the rear fender coming loose and grounding out. Start under the seat where it goes through the fender hole and check from there.
