Once again, going to the experts. I'm cross-eyed from looking at wiring diagrams.

On my '98 Ultra, the lighting fuse is ok, going in and out. I have brake lights, and turn signals front and rear.

No headlight, passing lamps, or instrument panel lights in front. No running lights in back. Worked fine 2 days ago. Only work I did yesterday was hook up my fender tip lamp. Bike starts fine. I am ok at electrical, but this one is over my head. I'm stumped.

 

BTW...have not put bulb in fender tip lamp yet. No draw. Tester shows no current at connection.

 

Good luck.

 

Why was the fendertip light unhooked in the first place?

 

First unless you added a module you won't have running lights in the rear.
As for no lights up front I'm guessing you forgot to hook up a ground.
This is on that trike you just painted right?

 

Does that model year have a keyswitch ignition relay?

It powers the lights circuit and also the instrument circuit on the `99...(don`t have a `98 schematic).

 

Ok I missed that it worked 2 days ago.
If it worked before fixing the fender tip light then go back over everything you did to fix the fender tip light,
I'm willing to bet that you will find you either hooked something up wrong or forgot to reassemble something while you were working on it.
As a last result unhook the fender tip light and see if your other lights start working again.

I can't tell you how many times I fixed something and somehow something else didn't work when I finished.

 

Stripdown and repaint, superdog.

 

Gotchya! When ya get a chance, pic?!

 

. Yes, THC, repainted. When they put trike kit on, they spliced into the rear harness and added running lights to the rear. On all the time, like headlight. Now that the sun is down, I see I do have instrument panel lights, also.

. Stiii no running lights on rear or tourpac, no headlamp or passing lights. No power to fender tip lamp. Brake lights ok on rear and tourpac. Turn signals ok front and rear.

. Screwup on fender light was my first thought. Just had wire hanging for repaint. Simply rethreaded thru inside fender guides and soldered 2 wires to pigtails I left when cutting off. But hear what you're saying about the last thing worked on. Can't think of any grounds unhooked except for removing battery.

. Think a poster mentioned a ignition switch relay that has something to do with lighting. Gonna look into that tomorrow. Damn. Hate to pull that fairing again. Will let ya'll know the fix. Thanks. Ken
