One way to find the find the problem... use a head lamp bulb  :wink:


Just make the leads on the bulb long enough that you can always see it...
A horn can also be used , but gets annoying after a bit if the fault can't be found.

I have a little 12volt buzzer on a short length of twin core with clips on the end, super tool for fault finding.

found the loom crushed at the back of the chassis next to a shiney new dent in the fuel tank,

tidied it up abit and all is well for now, will fix it properly when the weathers better  :wink:

Same thing happened to me. My side light stayed on despite switching of the lights. The loom had been squashed and erroded down to bare wire. The live feed to the alarm was keeping the lights on. Resulted in a small smoldering mess of wire. The rac saved me and she's all better now!
