spotlights

I have had the 2007 1500 classic for almost a year and it’s been great. Last week the spotlights stopped working and I was wondering if there would be an inline fuse. The switch for them is on the bar for the right turn signal.

check power at the switch. my 1500 the switch went out and remember if wired correctly they do not operate on high beam.

I think mine are wired into the headlight bucket. Mess of wires in there.

Wow!! Count me as a victim to website malfunction.....

As I was trying to say and post, check fuses! My 05 1600 Nomad had a lightbar on it when I bought the bike. A bulb was burned out. When I finally got motivation to replace it I discovered the bulb socket was corroded with rust. I cleaned it as best I could (it ought to be replaced...). Afterward, the first time using the lightbar, I noticed it stopped working. Darnit. Later on that evening I stopped for something and got off the bike with the engine running. I noticed my taillight was burned out too. When I fiddled with it the next day I determined the taillight fuse was fried. I figured the crusty rusty socket is the real culprit. I replaced the fuse but the next time I used the lightbar it stopped working once again.

I traced the wiring into the headlight bucket. Like Brydgy said, what a mess. I honestly don't find enough value in the lightbar to mess with tracing down wiring for poor connections or replacing bulb sockets. I don't do much night riding.

Seeming you did great care but to resolve this spotlight issue you must check out your switch and battery.
