View Full Version : Quick lighting circuit question....

Just so I don't have to go dig through my freakin' shop manual again, does anyone know if the older single-wire lighting circuit on the Sporty includes the headlamp in that circuit?

I still have an intermittent headlamp flicker but also noted that the front running lights are doing it at the same time. If they're all part of the same single circuit, maybe I've got a smaller lamp that's getting ready to die.

Thanks for any tips... keeps me out of the 100+ degree garage.

The lights are all on the lighting circuit. Brake light is on the accessory breaker. I think the indicator lights are on the accessory circuit too.

I've got to dig into the issue when it's not so freakin' hot in the garage. The light will flicker, go out for a while, come back on, flicker... then be fine. Could be a bulb, or worse, just a loose ground somewhere... LOVE searching around for those.

Sounds more like a burnt/melted headlight connector. Have you seen any of the pics posted here, usually by Gary I think?

Could also just be a bad headlight bulb...
