headlight won't come on

[Guest bodasefus]

I pulled into the garage and I noticed the high beams were on. I turned the hi/lo beam switch to lo and the headlamp went out. I turned back to hi and still no light... I removed the tank cover and the head fuse was ok... it had 12 volts on both sides of the fuse... I removed the headlight and there was no voltage on the headlamp socket...

 

anyone had this happen and solution... Is the headlamp hi/lo switch or ???

 

thanks

Sometimes the starter button can cause similar problems. It's designed to turn off headlight when cranking.

Bounce the switch and see if symptoms change.

It could be the CMS needs a solder job, but usually one light or the other will just get dim. So, I would try Gary's suggestion first.
