Well, not completely well done. I have to take the fairing off again and go digging around. I tried to make sure everything worked before I put it all back together... everything but the passing lamps! Yup. Got it all fixed and now they don't light up. lol.

Wow, that is a sure sign of how the professionals do it and give it back to you at the Harley shop.

Since the passing lamps must be unplugged to get the fairing off you may have just missed plugging them back in?

They weren't unplugged. I'm not really sure what happened. I had a few hours of daylight after I got home from work today so I tore into it. As soon as I took the fairing off I turned on the switch and they lit up like nothing ever happened. Might have pushed a connection just right when I put the fairing on on Sunday? Not sure. I checked everything I could. Unplugged and replugged. Pulled on wires. Wiggledo and shook (yes, the wires too). Really don't know. But everything is back together and working as it should. I did notice that my horn is weak. cleaned the connections but didn't help too much. So, on the prowl for a horn now. Lol

Older bikes seem to pick up electric gremlins. Try using a little dielectric grease on any connector you come in contact with, including bulb sockets.

Glad that you got her sorted out, and that you would post your solution here. You never know who your post may help in the future.

I've gotten some answers to a few of my questions just by reading some of the threads so it's only right I contribute. Also, I picked up a tube of dielectric grease and have been putting that s*** on everything! Lol
