There are four of those. All have fuses, all look fine.

Hello all! Between constant rain and other demands on my time, I'm finally back to it. And now the starter won't crank again. Nuttin'...

Sorry, it's been raining all day. Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

Agreed, but there is no fuse box. But yeah, you're right. I'm not flipping through a manual but I'm scanning the Web for photos and...

I am looking under the seat! I don't see anything resembling a fuse box, except maybe this reserve lighting device. But that doesn't...

Sorry for being dense. Right now I have the key to "on" position. The starter cranks but I don't actually start the engine because like...

Good morning! By any chance, could the lights work once the engine is engaged and running? My oil and gas are drained right now and I'm...

Look at that: I'm no longer an "enthusiast," but an "addict."

Gotcha.

Leo rocks!!!!! 'nuff said.

All this started because my starter sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. So if I'm following this correctly, the problem had always been...

Excellent. Thanks!!

I have those tools but there were no free/unused connectors in the headlight casing. None that I noticed. I wrote elsewhere that I...

Great idea!

Thanks. I did. I ran a ground wire from the the plug behind the headlamp - where there was no ground wire on the right plug. I shoved a...

Awesome! Thanks! Like I said, basic and yet was unknown to me.

Ah, I get it! Thanks!!

I'll try this when I'm back home. May I take a moment to ask a humiliating question? Why won't the switch work without grounding? Like I...

Nope, that didn't work. I just removed my makeshift ground and held that tab against the handlebar (which is not painted there) when I...

Ah, I see. Right now the housing isn't on the bar. So it's not grounded! Right? Does that silver tab serve a purpose? Or does it just...

This silver tab, circled in blue. When I removed the housing, I removed both tabs. The gold, larger tab on the side with the button...

Ok, I see this now. Thank you. I'm more of a visual guy. You provided me a photo of the larger tab. Now would you show the silver tab...

Okay. So I'm a big dummy. Please tell how to do that. Apparently, I ruined the grounding when I took apart the housing. I assume it has...

I grounded it and it worked and I shouted for joy. BUT...I jury-rigged it. How should I ground it proper?

I've done basic wiring in my home. But I seem to be not understanding really basic. Why does the right half of this plug not have a...

So ..?

Is this right? I'm not sure how that smaller, silver tab should be placed. I'm any regard, nothing yet from the starter switch. You say...

Thanks! I'll get to it tomorrow.

Like Mick sang, it's painted black..
