    Hi guys, have just replaced bars on my iron, put wiring extensions in and replaced black switches with gold ones! Now my headlight is stuck on high beam and my kill switch is not working! Everything else is OK. I was worried about the connectors on the wiring extension pulling apart when I pulled wiring through only held with shrink tube. I doubt if I had just one wire on each side coming apart if the others are OK plus headlight works but wont dip!  I dont think its the switches because it was only covers I replaced, I am starting to think it could be Deusch (bag) connectors! I'm wondering if I may have put pin in upside down?? Any ideas? Thought I would ask the experts before I try to locate problem. Thanks in advance! Grant.

    Bugger. Yep you will have to pull it apart again and look for pulled wire for the kill and prob a wrong placed for the HB.
    I think you have pulled a connection apart on the kill, you need to be able to close the circuit (hit the kill switch) which pulls the relay to complete the circuit that goes to the pump and ecm to stop the bike,(ign stays on). Either a grey wire or the White/black wire for this.
    And headlight stuck on HB. Wire misplaced into a power on all the time in deutsch plug, look for White wire not in right place. All colours should match up. Yellow is main beam, white is hi beam. See how you go.
    Others could have different ideas so you should get some more feedback soon.

    Thanks for your info. I think you would probably be right! the other thing is, it is both the on off type switches, all the spring type are Ok. I was starting to think it may be in the switches but there didn't appear anything much can go wrong at that end! must be just coincidence its those two switches. I will pull it apart again and check connections! Cheers!

    Hey FLH, just thought I would let you know I sorted out elec problem! snapped connector on Kill switch, loose connectors on headlight! So I did away with all connectors that came with extension kit! All good, If I had to do the same job I would buy my own wire and extend myself! Stagger joins maybe to help pulling wires through! Anyway thanks for your help. Grant.

    Good job. Glad you persisted with the suggestions and found the issues.. Those deutsch connector can be tricky at times.
