- March 23, 2014, 18:24:50 PMWe just discovered that Blue's Oil and Water Dash Warning Lights aren't working correctly.
When we were taking pictures of the speedo light changes we completed today, I couldn't get a good picture because Princess' red lights were on when I turned the ignition key on. 2beers wasn't having that problem, because his lights weren't lit. So, it led us to figure out which bike was having trouble.
According to the owner's manual, those lights should illuminate once you turn the key on, and then go off once oil pressure is achieved. So we figured it was Blue that was having an issue.
Well, now we're stuck...
1) Checked power at the harness plug with a tester. Good.
2) Checked power at the light bulb sockets with a tester. Good.
3) Checked the bulbs. Both were blown. Replaced them both.
4) Turned on the key. Bulbs don't light.
5) Switched one bulb with turn signal indicator bulb, which is working. Pushed it in the socket. Turned on the key. Won't light! Assured that bulb sockets are clean and contacts are tight around bulb. No combination works.
6) Used tester without bulb in socket. Ignition on, tester light is on. Started bike, tester light stays on.
Huh?
Any ideas? Is the system wired to interrupt the warning lights by the ground (thereby making our tester light, but not the bulbs)? BTW, Water and Oil are both present and accounted for!
