Hi one and all.
New to the club and sorry to be starting with a problem. I ended up here after doing a google search of my issue so here I am.
I have a 2003 Foxeye 600, it is used as my commuter and does 70 miles a day 4 or 5 days a week. In November last year I upgraded the headlight bulbs but they are the 60/55 versions so no probs there. I always have my headlights on even in the day time so the headlight switch is always in the on position.
On the way to work on Friday, I noticed near the end of my journey that I could not see the reflection of my lights in the car in front. Got to work and sure enough no headlights. Turned the bike off, checked the fuse and all good. Took one of the bulbs out and all good, refitted the bulb and put the ignition on and all was well. At the end of the day, turned the ignition on and lights came on nd started to ride home. Again, when I was nearly home it was clear no headlights were on, got home and checked and sure enough they were off and have not come back on at all.
Did a bit of a google and came up with a couple of threads on here about high powered bulbs and the 2 relays behind the clocks.Took the screen off and found the relays, no click from either of them when I turn the ignition on. I checked everything and no sidelights, headlights, tail light, full beam off the toggle switch, brake light or horn. The lights come on if you press the pass light ok and if you put the key in the park light position of the ignition the side lights and the rear tail lights come on so no issue with the wiring to either.Today I took the 4 pin relay out and looped the 2 power connectiors that go into it and the headlights came on (but no side lights or rear lights still).
So I am thinking there is definitely a problem with the 4 pin relay, the question is, would this effect the tail light, brake light and horn?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
