Driving Lights not working

[Big Dog]

Well I was at TMS Shop in Daytona yesterday and Russel replaced the check valve, and upgraded the head lights. However the driving lights were not working. He checked both fuse boxes, and the relay, still no lights. If you turn on the head lights and pull the switch for the driving lights the icon lights up on the dash. If you repalce the relay with one from a Stallion whose dl worked no good. If you put in a jumper wire in place of relay the dl worked! Let's here some suggestions.

I'll post pictures later today of the first blue Stallion sold, at Bike Week, he was hit on the right side. Seems a car was hanging a U turn in the road earlier this week, must not have seen Tom. Caught him just on the back of the right wheel and was :groan: rolled over on the left side. Tom broke his collar bone, thank God he had his helmet on. The new plastic body took a beating, every piece will have to be replaced, along with dash, steering wheel, wind shield, both rear wheels,and a few inside pieces. They have not started to remove the body, or start the engine. They are waiting on the insurance adjust to come to the shop.

I would check and see if there was power on wire (low power side) from the switch to the relay when it was on. Then I would check and make sure the ground to the relay was good (again low power side). If there is power to the lights when you jump the high power side leads and the relay is good, that is all that is left the low power side of the relay. Relays are really very simple. You switch a low power side that then allows a high power side to draw power.

Glad to hear it was not worse than it was for the rider.

Let's hear it for helmets. I choose to wear one.
