Passing Lamp Not Working

[celling]

Where exactly was your inline fuse located? How did you get to it?

I left out that the fuse was good it was the fuse holder that was bad. Used a volt meter to check current. My fuse holder is in the fairing.

I just knew it, the fuse holder is inside the fairing. I'm ready to tackle the job and get in there...it is just a matter of time and patience. BTW, does someone know what kind of fuse to get? BUSS type - Amps?

I didn't know there was a switch, or maybe mine just have one....

My switch feels and clicks fairly well, so I lightly do not suspect that the switch is bad.

I have lights I am planning to install this weekend. Is it ok to pick up the power for the lights off the wire to the power outlet ? The only thing I use in the power outlet is my garmin. I'm sure that circut will already be fused so would I still need the inline fuse to the light as well?

It comes with a standard bus type glass fuse. I really don't remember the amps though.

Well mine does have the switch.

Didn't know that, I guess I learned something new today....

So it was snowing all day today and luckily managed to work in the garage to remove the front fairing to diagnose my inoperabe Passing Lamps. First was the removal of the fairing. Thanks to all of your help, this made the task smoother. Now I know why that chrome piece in front of the windshield has to be handled carefully, the tabs and corners are just plastic and can easily break if not careful. To make my long story short, it took me about 30 minutes to remove the fairing and my troubleshooting skills kicked into play:rudolf:.

 

Upon further investigation, I discovered that the fuse holder's wires were a little loose and was not making contact with the fuse holder itself (the fuse is not blown). I decided to just replace the fuse holder with another type that I had purchased long time ago...turned on the switch and ....my Passing Lamps are back to life once again. Looks like the dealer that installed my lamps just let the fuse holder dangle freely inside the fairing. As a fix, I secured most of the wires with tie wraps and made sure that that fuse holder is not going to move at all inside. BTW, my switch is still good and fairly looks brand new. Thanks to Venturerider Forum for making this task as painless as possible for me. Ride Safe Everyone. I've got below.

Thats great Mike, glad to hear you got them working again.

Sometimes all it takes is that 1st step to tackle it by yourself, that really is usually the hardest part. Glad that you got it figured out and back together again, we dont always inspire fear here

BTW....you just saved yourself atleast $100

I am really very happy to own the Venture and have a nice group of fellow riders that share the same passion for riding. This thread definitely gave me a confidence booster and enabled me to go ahead and tackle the challenge with ease and great support from members. For the bottom line, you are right, I saved a few dollars...
