Default Lost my Lights...

I don't know if I'm at the right place to ask this question.

Last night I was on my way to family house and a few miles away from home I lost all my lights (headlamp, tail lights, etc) except my turn signals. I check the fuses and did find the 15amp fuse was burned out. I replaced it but I still don't have any lights. Any where else I should look at on the bike. I have my service manual but doesn't let you know how to troubleshoot. Manual only shows how to remove and replace things on the bike. Not useful at all.

Thanks

I would remove all of the the bulbs then replace the fuse. Reinstall each bulb one at a time and check for operation to find the socket that is shorted.

Could narrow things down a bit by letting us know what bike you're riding b/c some have different electrical check-points...

Also, re-check the fuse you swapped because it could've popped again indicating you have a short somewhere.
