Then I have a problem because it only comes on when the headlight switch is on. A friend of mine (in his 70s) told me maybe the ignition switch has something faulty in it and to spray it with cleaner. Hmmmm.
yes

77, look at the chart to see what feeds (blue) the taillight. The keyed ignition (main) switch or the 'lights' (headlamp) switch?
Deleted Just thinking to myself about the Tach................nothing sinister

Looks like the headlamp switch. SO the only time the running light should be on is when the headlamp switch is on.

There are 2 running lights on 2 circuits that connect when the on/off switch is used

I thought Dan was saying "YES ITS NORMAL TO UNDERSTAND YOUR BIKE BETTER WHEN YOU WORK ON IT"
I didnt think it was a direct answer to that question but thanks for clearing it up.

You're welcome.
But, not so fast. And what supplies the headlamp switch?
Ha! I agree to both readings. But it was a direct answer.

I cant tell! I wired my whole 16 speaker and soundsystem and capacitors and amps in my 1964 buick. ALL of it. But Im crap at diagrams. I cant tell what powers the handlebar switch from the diagram. As far as I can tell, the running tails lights should only be on when its switched from the RH headlamp on switch, if Im wrong pls show me why

Wait. It looks like the main switch goes to the headlamp too but ONLY when its in the accessory position. Is that right?

To be fair, the wires in the diagram are printed slightly offset from the main switch.
Yes, you've got it! Now what does that mean in real life? How many ways can you turn your lights on?

the running lights? You can turn them on in two ways: by turning the main switch to the accessory position OR turning on the headlamp.

Yes. And from where is the headlamp switch supplied via the R/Y line?

The main switch. So how does that affect the dynamic? Im guessing it powers the headlamp switch but the actual headlamp switch itself is what "runs" the running lights when *IT* is switched on?
