Yeah, the maroon makes the text next to impossible to read.

Simple first... check the bulb... next headlight relay.

Ok, as stated in my intro, I've got issues, so be nice to the newbie.   ;)

I've been riding for about 6 weeks now and have spent some time cleaning and going over my '99 1500.  One chore I've done is pulling all my electrical connectors to clean and add a little dielectric to.

In doing this, ended up with no lights, tail or head.  I checked junction box and found taillight fuse had blown, replaced it and they work fine. Spots and turn signals work too, but still no headlight.  Checked FSM and performed diagnostic on junction box and got negative on headlight relay and starter relay.  What's odd is, starter works fine, so it makes me wonder if I'm testing it correctly.  FSM says to only use Kawasaki hand tester, but I use a fair quality ammeter/voltmeter.

I'm using my spots for now, and limiting my nighttime riding, but could use some experiential input.
