lights?!?!

[stuntin andy]

so i was changeing the oil in my bike today and as i was waiting for all the oil to drain so i took my head light off. i want to keep the nutral light and reverse light so im goiing to mount them under the fenders i allredy know how im going to do it, But the big problem is that no matter where i plug the nutral light into it wont light up.. the light works and ive tryed both powers and the green and red wire are connected to each outher... whats the problem?!? the light works and every thing so im lost.

im kinda confused about what your asking cause you say that they work and then you say they dont and then you say they do again if anything ppl arnt responding cause theydont understand what your trying to say not thta they dont know whats wrong
if your saying that the lights arnt working now and they did b4 id say check the bulb first it could be bad and just dosent look like it after that check all the wires and make sure nothing is wrong with any of them if it all looks ok then get an electric tester you can prob pick one up at walmart or sears or lowes if you dont have one and that way you will be able to tell if you have power going to the connector

ok lets try makeing it simpiler =p

1. the lights dont work when they are pluged in the right spot.

2. they do work if i hook the light to a power.

3.all the wires have power.

mabey somethign wrong with the connector
and you mean they work when you hook them up to someother type of power not the quad right?

[shiley55]

actually if it was me id go head and cut off the connectors and see if it works hard wired and then if it it dosent then i have no clue

Make sure you ground is working right. If you have a volt meter that has an ohms setting on it. you can put one lead on the ground and one on a clean spot on the frame. you should read zero "0" or somthing close to it. or you could run a temporary wire from the ground on the light toi the ground on the battery and hook up the power on the light to see if the ground wire is the problem.

[stuntin andy]

i think the ground it squashed under this cylinoid looking thing and the frame and i know its tuching the frame =o


and yes they will work if you hook them up to outher power

[shiley55]

yea then id just hard wire it and try that

[stuntin andy]
