Hi! 1980 XS650SG. The headlamp has been working fine. Then the other day I unhooked the bulb from the 3-prong connector to do some other work behind the light. Forgot to turn off ignition switch, and somehow blew the headlamp fuse. The fuse REALLY blew. Like, all black and smoky. Put in a new fuse, and now headlamp doesn't work.
So, did I fry something else when I blew that fuse? Headlamp had been fine up until this incident, so I don't think it is the switch, RLD, bad ground, or other common issue. Getting 0 volts out of low beam and hi beam wires. There is a solid 12+ volts on both sides of the headlamp fuse. Headlamp works when rigged directly to battery, so it is not the bulb.
Thanks for any thoughts/help!
