At least I don’t see one still can’t figure out why they won’t work.   Logged     happy trails ride fast take chances   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1028651 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Aux lights 2 Weeks, 2 Days ago   HotRodStar wrote: davej wrote: brad_g wrote: So when did they change how the lights operate?

The only way they would come on without the bike running is if someone has gone into the wiring and rewired something.   Logged     Last Edit: 2018/02/07 05:43 By davej.   dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1028843 kdavid (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 293 Re:Aux lights 2 Weeks ago   Nope it came from the factory like that bought it new and the lights would always come on without the engine on.   Logged     happy trails ride fast take chances   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1028849 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Aux lights 2 Weeks ago   kdavid wrote: Nope it came from the factory like that bought it new and the lights would always come on without the engine on. Thats odd. I wonder if the aux lights are actually factory installed or if they are a factory supplied light that is actually installed at the dealer during dealer assembly?Either way I hope you find the issue. The only thing I have ever heard or seen go wrong is a bulb go bad or the switch go bad or break and then blow a fuse.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1028855 txulrich (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2768 Re:Aux lights 2 Weeks ago   It sounds like the only way to get to the root of this is to just get in there with a meter and trace the wires. Find out where there's power and where there isn't.   Logged     Peace, Baron Wilhelm Gustav von Schmidtt III (but you can call me Joe)   The administrator has disabled public write access.
