Title: No Headlight (High or Low) / Horn
Post by mg66 on 02/17/11 at 05:06:29

My wife dropped her 96 Savage last weekend on the left side. I just noticed she does not have a headlight (low or high) nor the horn.

Bike starts no problem and back light and turn signals are working.

Is there a fuse just for the headlight and horn. Or maybe something else. Any insight would be appreciated.

I searched here and the interwebz to no avail.

There is a big connector on each side of the frame up under the tank that goes to the handlebar switches.
Pull the tank and look at the one on the left side. Pull it apart and reconnect. That connector has lines for headlight and horn. It also has turn signal, but you say those are working. I'm guessing the connector is just a bit loose.

Noticed also the license plate light is not working. Not yet checked for bad bulb yet. Only common I see is ground between all things.

Freakin' A youzguyz. You are awesome 8-).

10 out of 10. Why I love these forums.

That is exactly was it was, the main left hand near the front left under tank connector was loose. I am still going to pull it apart clean the terminals and ensure its back good and tight.

Thanks. You made a happy man of me and especially the wife (her new bike) as I am not a bike electrician's a$$hole and thats the truth :P

Glad it was an easy fix for ya mg66!

Just be careful when you put the gas tank back on, as that is when that connector is likely to get knocked loose!

You will get a lot of good answers and advice around here.. mostly because we have all been there and done that before.

btw the license plate light was not associated with the connector problem. I traced the wiring and found a bad connector coming from the license plate light. Another quick fix.
