I had the local honda shop replace my start/stop switch on my F3 and now I have no tail lights just brake lights. I had to ghetto in a led bar that m using for the tail light but it looks ghetto and I want to get rid of it. Any ideas on what this "honda factory trained service" idiot did? Ive tried to put a HOT wire to the sockets but both filaments keep lighting. I know I should have taken it back but it took them 2 weeks to get a simple switch on it. RTD in Springfield Illinois SUCKS ***!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'd say check the wires in front of the bike where the start/stop switch is at. I'd complain to them about it though.

 

Get a manual. Check your fuses. Then get a multimeter and start checking your wires to find where you're not getting power. In that order.

 

p.s. You can get the manual free at stephygee.com.

 

All my fuses are good, it's not been blowing any. I figured it was somewhere up front but was hoping somebody knew what color wire to look for. I'm sure he just cut it putting in the switch. Should I start on the faring bracket or is it a constant from front signals to back? Is there any way to hot wire the tail lights and still have brake lights? I tried a hot to both leads of lamp sockets and both filaments light.

 

RTD got my money so they don't care about crap, I've bitched to everybody in the store and I don't think I'd trust em to do an oil change. RTD sucks

So no running lights correct? Are you using OEM tail light?

 

I have from runners but no tail ones.

 

The tail light is a clear one but it's the same guts. There's no integrated signals or anything like that.
