FZS600 lights not working

[Stogie777]

Hello,


I’ve got a problem with my 2001 boxeye. Seems to be very similar to some other issues on here but they were on a fox eye and fixed by replacing a relay that doesn’t exist in the boxeye.


Essentially with lights switches on side or dipped, full beam on or off I get no lights at all. If I pull the flash trigger one side does come on. All brake lights and indicators function normally.


I’ve taken apart the right switch gear and all contacts look clean.


Any ideas?

It's more than likely an earthing issue, either within the switch or in one of the connecting plugs/blocks.  Put a tester on the circuit check for continuity.

Look at the cable from the light switch and check its all plugged in properly under the tank.

One wee idea as this happened to me before. Check ignition wires. I went all through wires, connectors , switches but not ignition switch. Someone said put key in , switch on and headlight switch on, and gently move wires at the bottom of ignition, even steer left to right a few times and see if they come on. They did. I had broken wire in the ignition. And if theres a problem with it, theres a post somewhere on here to take it apart.

Thanks for your help gentlemen.


Traced the cabling inside the nest of rat’s tails under the tank and found a very burnt out connector. Promptly rewired it, a bit fiddly due to cable length but got it sorted.


Cheers
