Default Lights out
I had to replace run/off switch on my 97 Electraglide. I got the right control housing back together and switch works but I now have no headlight,running lights, signals or brake lights. Radio works as do gauge lights. I don’t know what I might have done. Any thoughts??

Lighting fuse is probably blown. Radio is on the ACC fuse.

Turns out it was the fuse. I don’t know how it may have blown but glad it was a simple fix
