Dip beam not working, scratching my head a bit. Checked basics like subbing the bulb, looked for chaffed wiring around headstock, tightness of connectors etc. Switchgear functions ok and main beam works aswell as tail. Suggestions please.

Get a wiring diagram and chase the flow from the battery using a multimeter...

Uri Gellering the wires though is still preferable to letting the magic smoke out of those electrikery things ;-)
