In The Dark....

....as in "no lights"!

Doubt anything Savage-specific, but any clues as to where to begin looking for source of this problem would be appreciated!

Other than for rear (which is working from the brakes and when main lights on), the Savage is light-less. No headlamp, no indicators. Yesterday it was erratically lighting ALL indicators when headlamp on dip or full (but not park!), which I assume was preparatory to today's total loss!

Thanks.

Time to get out the voltage/ammeter and start testing circuits. As a precautionary measure, check all the fuses and light bulbs to make sure nothing funky is going on.

Reply #3 - 11/25/07 at 17:01:25 My main plug under the tank came apart and I had no lights in the front or signals. The back worked. I didn't have a functioning push button start either. I plugged it back together and wraped it with a thin zip wire tie so it wouldn't come apart again. Check the fuses under the seat on the throttle side first. Hutch
