Default Whats up with the lights??
Just discovered that my tailights, running lights and low beam headlight are out. I still have the spots, brake light, high beam headlight and turn signals. Any clues for this newbie?

When did you have this dream ?
Do you live next to a nuclear power plant ?
Could be a black hole, or dark energy draw ?
Do you go to Church often enough ?

Since I don't now much about this bike, everything little seems like a major disaster. However, I do live pretty close to Wolf Creek Nuclear plant.

My guess would be that the accessory fuse is blown, fuse is located in fuse box under left side cover.
P.S. Mike, it's a 2006 Ultra.

If it's not a fuse, it could be a lighting relay. I had one go out on me but I lost all my lights that time. Yours sounds like a fuse but it's weird that you high beam still works.

Be sure to post your results. You've got me curious now.

It is strange that your lo beam is out,but your spots work.They are tied together.I had a similar situation on my 06 Standard(except for the lo beam thing),it was the lighting relay.
