Angry FLHTCU Aux Lights won't come on...
My aux lights have stopped working. Have checked the fuses and bulbs. The front turn signals are working which leads me to believe the connectors in the batwing are connected correctly. The only thing I can tell that is out of the ordinary is when I activate the switch on the dash it isn't lighting up. The other switches (speaker, cruise, aux) all light up.

Any ideas on what to check next?

Haven't been in the batwing for months so don't know what I've done here.

Ride Safe!
Shaun

Check the connection at the switch, see if you have power coming in to the switch and out of it, could be as simple as the switch is bad or a bad connection at the switch.

Damn, I was hoping that a gremlin has sneaked into the garage, removed the outer faring, unplugged all the wires, then buttoned it back up. But MK had to ruin it all. Damn.

How long ya' had the damn bike??
Hard to believe ya' weren't aware of that....unless, o' course, you've only had
the scoot for....oh....a couple days or so!!

Next you'll be sayin' it won't start....then you'll discover....after gettin' 10 or so replies, that you had the hot damn kill switch on!!

Ignorance is so blissful, isn't it Mr. Bliss!
