Hi all,
My high beam flasher switch has decided to stop working.
I have opened up the housing and all the connections appear to be fine.
The bulb does work as when i select the high beam from the high/low switch the light comes on. Does anyone know where the pass switch wires go to so I can test continuity.
Thanks
Andrew

Take the switch apart and clean the contacts.......tis a VERY common fault.

Never had any mither (yet :lol: ) with Buell switches but I have with other things. I made the mistake of cleaning an electrical contact with some glass paper. All that did was destroy the brass plating and the steel contact then rusted up and was completely shite :lol:
What I'm saying in a long winded manner is, clean it with something non abrasive ;)

sort of like a pencil (but glassfibre rather than a lead) cleans the crap off but doesnt damage the copper

Yeah same story. I took delivery of my brand new Lightning 12SS 3-4 weeks back and, when having a general play with it in my garage, the pass switch wouldn't work. Only took a few minutes to sort. Dirty contacts.
