Hi all
Have just been to change the sidelight bulb in my bike to a newer capless bulb, and now the sidelight isn't working at all.
Bulbs are fine, have checked them, checked their is power to the bulb holder, but no illumation.
Could it be a bad earth or is there some switch I don't know about? Is this a known issue?
It's utterly bizarre, was working 1 min then not working the next, I didn't touch anything other than swapping the bulb, and now the original doesn't work either.
I'm baffled!
Sidelight Stopped Working
Re: Sidelight Stopped Working
Some led bulbs have to be fitted in the correct direction, try turning it round.
Checked the fuse?
Checked the fuse?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

The LED bulb worked fine, but was too big, so put the original bulb back in until I got another replacement that fitted, but now neither the original bulb works or the new one. There’s power to the bulb holder I checked.
Which fuse should I check for the position light (side light)?

Re: Sidelight Stopped Working
If you have power to the bulb holder (12 volts) it won’t be the fuse blown.Francom82 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 7:07 pm The LED bulb worked fine, but was too big, so put the original bulb back in until I got another replacement that fitted, but now neither the original bulb works or the new one.

If you have a multimeter set it to test continuity, then see if there is continuity between the earth terminal in the bulb holder and the bike frame,
