Hello everyone,
I have a new project bike - a 83 GL650. Electrical issues started with the taillight running light not working. Turns out one of the ignition switch contacts was missing it's spring so I replaced it with one from a clicker pen (cut short). The spring fixed the problem but now my headlight, running lights/ blinkers, and horn are not working. While trying to solve the new set of problems I accidently touched the contacts to the side of the ignition switch housing which blew out the 30A main fuse on the starter relay. I replaced the strip fuse with the spare. The bike starts up and runs fine. All the fuses on the handle bar clamp are ok and I have power at all of them. Is there any other fuses I'm missing? Do you think my new set of electrical problems are still caused by the ignition switch?
Thanks,
Roland
