Default Spotlights out

Went for a ride Monday night and noticed my spots were out. Even the dash switch did not have a light on it.

I looked at the schematic in the manual. The only fuse I saw was for "lights" which I would assume was all the lights. Any ideas as to what the problem is and how to fix it?

start at the switch, you may have a wire off OR did you leave the high beam on ?

Switch could be it. The red light is not even on. Anyone else have an idea?

Check for a blown fuse then check the lamps.

When they went out on my 2006, I found a broken ground wire in one of the bulb housings. Had to drill out the rivot they used as a grounding point. I rewired with marine terminals and sealed everything.

Not to be insulting but check to see if your High Beam is on. Unless you modify the Passing Lights they only work when the Low beam is on.
