Alright guys I'm having an issue with my headlight system. My head light stopped working, both low and high beam, and found that the fuse had blown. I replaced it to see if it would do the trick but in less than 10 seconds the lights flickered back of. After blowing 2 fuses I traced the wires back to find the aftermath of something hideous below my seat.








The wire is missing because it was so green and brittle that when I attempted to brush it it pretty much crumbled to pieces. So now I'm thinking about my next move. Would it be better just to buy a whole new connection or is there a way I can bypass this circuit to keep the headlights working? Any thoughts are welcome.

 

i would check the whole lead.. but you dont have to buy that conector you could just get some new wire and soderless conetors and be good to go

 

HOLY SHiaaattt!!!. Just soder in some new ish and you should be good to go. Or... check how much a new harness may be. Could be cheap.

 

I decided to just go ahead and solder the new wire in, i think i'm going to start at the rectifier and use a whole new wire all the way down

 

my friend, thats a real mess. do the wiring replace, but make sure all is fine, because if you have a short circuit, you should see another time all system, i can´t find that harness, where is located? but remember don't put another fuse range that you need.

Already got it solved. I bypassed the wires. Cut it half way from the rectifier and crimped new wires to both ends. Works fine now.

 

Just currious what wattage bulb you use. I have seen the same type of carnage in cars that have high wattage (85/120W) bulbs. The only proper solution I have found when running more than a standard bulb (~55/65W) is to buy a heavy duty light wire harness with a proper rated relay. The relay draws the power straight off the battery and uses the factory plug to trigger on/off high/low. This keeps the factory wiring from overheating and melting the insulation and wire.
