So are the passing lights supposed to be on all the time then? Later models have a switch to cut them on and off. The Yamaha dealer told me there was a switch on the fairing, but it's not where he said it would be. Does anyone know if this 2005 model has a switch somewhere I don't know about as well? I think you guys are probably right it has a short somewhere and I will check the things you recommended. Thanks.

Yes I did try that several times. I thought maybe they just came on during the day too and a sensor turned them off when it gets dark, but that's not the case either.

I have a 2005 Royal Star Midnight Venture and I have noticed that sometimes the highway lights are just on and other times they are not. Is there a switch for these somewhere on the bike I don't know about? On newer models there is a switch down on the lower left of the instrument panel, but not on this bike. Are the highway loghts just supposed to be on automatically on this year model? Do I have a short? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
