Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sidewinder" data-source="post: 50571" data-attributes="member: 2071">So I'm changing out the turn signal/high beam harness because the one I have is all buggered up.  Pretty straight forward.  I unplugged the 9 pin connector at the fairing and removed the attaching bolts removing the fairing.  So far so good.  Then I unplugged all the wiring from the old harness and removed it.  Put in the new (salvage) harness and plugged everything in.  Set the fairing in place to check before buttoning up everything and all works as advertised EXCEPT the headlight.  I'm pretty sure I have all the wires in the proper place as every thing else works.  This is the first Wing I've been into but this is not my first safari into the rubber snake jungle of head light buckets.  The head light wires are blue, white and green.  The schematic shows them all running into the 9 pin connector but it also shows a green gnd off into what the book indicates as a "mini".  I remember someone in another thread mentioning when removing the fairing to not forget the ground.  I didn't and still don't see any ground wire.  Is it possible that the wire in inside the fairing and grounds when bolted up.  That might make some sense, I only set the fairing into place and attached the aft two nuts so as to hold it in place.  I did not install all the other bolts.  Maybe not grounding or something.  So, anyone have any suggestions?  I guess the next move is to remove covers from both sides and look inside for a loose ground floating around someplace.  I did take a look at the "new" hi lo beam switch and it looks all soldered up just fine and the movement is crisp as it should feel.  Cleaned everything with contact spray, all pins etc and the switch itself.</blockquote>
