Default Need electrical help with Passing light.

Need ideas, I have a passing light out on my bike. I check the continuity on the bulbs and they look good. Voltage on the good light is exactly 12 V and the socket voltage on the one that does not work is 11.2. I do not know if that is significant nor any idea of why it is less. Any electrical guys out there?

Just for yuks...swap the bulbs around, just to make sure the bulb isn’t bad. 11.2 volts is not optimum but it should at least come on dim. If your batter is fully charged and the engine running, 12 volts exactly, means you are losing voltage to the other side.

If the bu”bs check out good, check all the connections. Open each, make sure the pins are not corroded it damaged. You’ll need a Factor Service Manuel to determine all the connections.
