No headlight, turn signals

[bigguy]

I have a 1982 Aspy. I am not very good at electrics, and I have no headlight, or turn sjgnals. Any ideas?

Check the fuses and fuse holders. Fuses can be bad and look good and holders can loosen or corrode over time losing contact.

Sounds about right. When I push down on the fuseholder, there is a change, I'll try that tomorrow

Headlight could also be a faulty bulb.

Fixed the problem. Traced it back to a bad ground in the headlight bucket. Love these oldwings, they keep you thinking lol

Glad you got it fixed. Grounds can be hard to find issues.

Yep, I tried the flasher first. One wire had full voltage, the other was weak. I took out the headlight and tried it on a battery, lit up fine. I then checked the ground in the headlight bucket, that was the culprit. Someone already mentioned that on this site, they were bang on
