Electrical Problems
06/02/09 at 09:40:06

I have a 2002 Savage. It has 7K on it. I`ve put 5K on it myself. I`ve never had any problems with it. I rode it to work yesterday. On the way, I stopped at a friends. When I started to leave, nothing. Lights wouldn`t come on when I switched her on. Nothing.
We pushed her off and I went on to work. That night, I went out and turn the key on and the neutral light and headlight would just barely come on.
I brought it home on a trailer and have been working on it since. I`ve checked the fuses and I`ve checked the battery. Everything is fine. I cleaned the battery connections, checked the voltage.
WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE. I HAVE NO CLUE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
Any suggestions will be appreciated. G Harper Huh

That should tell a tale: either the battery is dead or a you have a massive voltage drop over a corroded or loose connector or fuse.
