7.2b ... and lift the bulb out; don't touch the glass on the
new bulb
6 Lighting system - check
1 The battery provides power for operation of the headlight,
taillight, brake light, license plate light, instrument and warning lights. If
none of the lights operate, always check battery voltage before
proceeding. Low battery voltage indicates either a faulty battery, low
battery electrolyte level or a defective charging system. Refer to
Chapter 1 for battery checks and Sections 26 and 27 for charging
system tests. Also, check the condition of the fuses and replace any
blown fuses with new ones.
Headlight
2 If the headlight is out when the engine is running (US models) or it
won't switch on (UK models), check the fuse first with the key or switch
On (see Section 5), then unplug the electrical connector for the
headlight and use jumper wires to connect the bulb directly to the
battery terminals (see Section 7). If the light comes on, the problem lies
in the wiring or one of the switches in the circuit. Refer to Section 16
for the switch testing procedures, and also the wiring diagrams at the
end of this Chapter.
Taillight/license plate light
3 If the taillight fails to work, check the bulbs and the bulb terminals
first, then check for battery voltage at the taillight electrical connector.
If voltage is present, check the ground/earth circuit for an open or poor
connection.
4 If no voltage is indicated, check the wiring between the taillight
and the ignition switch, then check the switch. On UK modeis, check
the lighting switch as well.
Brake light
5 See Section 12 for the brake light switch checking procedure.
Neutral indicator light
6 If the neutral light fails to operate when the transmission is in
Neutral and the key switch is On, check the fuses and the bulb (see
Section 14 for bulb removal procedures). If the bulb and fuses are in
good condition, check for battery voltage at the connector attached to
the neutral switch on the left side of the engine. If battery voltage is
present, refer to Section 18 for the neutral switch check and
replacement procedures.
7 If no voltage is indicated, check the wiring between the switch
and the bulb for open circuits and poor connections.
7 Headlight bulb - replacement
Refer to illustrations 7.1a, 7.1b, 7.2a and 7.2b
Warning: If the bulb has just burned out, allow it to cool. It will be hot
enough to burn your fingers.
1 Remove the headlight cover screws (see illustration). Tilt the
cover forward out of the headlight assembly and disconnect the
electrical connector (see illustration).
2 Turn the bulb retainer counterclockwise (anti-clockwise) (see
illustration). Remove the bulb (see illustration).
3 When installing the new bulb, reverse the removal procedure. Be
sure not to touch the bulb glass with your fingers - oil from your skin
will cause the bulb to overheat and fail prematurely. If you do touch the
bulb, wipe it off with a clean rag dampened with rubbing alcohol.
4 The parking light bulb holder (auxiliary light) on UK models is a
push fit in the grommet set in the rear of the reflector. Access may be
possible via the cutout in the headlight housing, but if not remove the
headlight as described in Step 1. Twist the bulb counterclockwise
(anti-clockwise) to release it from its bulb holder.
8 Headlight aim - check and adjustment
Refer to illustration 8.3
1 . An improperly adjusted headlight may cause problems for
oncoming traffic or provide poor, unsafe illumination of the road ahead.
Before adjusting the headlight, be sure to consult with local traffic laws
and regulations.
