Lighting trouble on my '08 RSV

[SilveradoCA]

I've been trying to fix a lighting issue; my post is here: https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?142667-Help-a-dumb-carpenter-with-wiring-please

 

Sorry for the cross-post! She's sitting torn apart until I can get this sorted. Here's the TL/DR for ya:

 

No low beam or passing lamps. I believe it's the dimmer switch, or wire between the switch and the first connector in the fairing.

 

I need help with: how to open up that switch? And also, which wire in the fairing would likely be constant (key on) power? The passing lamps have their own switch and fuse, so I'd rather have them switched independently of the headlight.

 

Thanks!

If you are not getting replies, it's not because we are not interested. This is a holiday weekend and a lot of folks are out doing things, the other problem is that it takes a special person, one who understands and loves wiring, and then needs to know the ins and outs of the Venture schematic. Bongobobny was one of those, but he went to a much better country recently.

So hang in there, this is your local info center, and has been awesome in responses and response times, but some things take just a little longer.

I 100% get that Marcarl. The only reason I cross-posted is that the Watering Hole seems to get a little more traffic than the tech forums.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Labour Day weekend. (It's Labor Day in the US too, right?)
