So out of no where all of those stopped working. I have no clue why or what to do. i have tried all new fuses, new relays, combo switch, headlight switch, bulbs everything. I am at the point to sell it now, but i dont want to cause it was such low miles and in perfect condition. if anyone can help please let me know, thanks - Cory

Wish I could suggest a fix action, but you can see that I have the same problem (see my thread scooter567) The problem is in a connection. my fuse links all checked good, but I have gotten things to work by moving wiring, etc. If you can get your hands on a good wiring diagram, these bad circuits should all come together at a common connector. power will be coming into the connector & stops there. You will need a good ohm/volt meter. UPDATE..I have narrowed it down to (picture) if I move it just right, everything works. Can't figure out how to get the thing apart.
