In my haste to finish the air filter/crank sensor fiasco I noticed one thing in, I the reflection of the car in front of me - there was no reflection, I forgot to connect the low beams, Hi-beams work.. Does anyone know where that plug is? Tell me it's not next to the air filter
Are you sure you disconnected the low beams during the air filter/crank sensor work? I've never had to (even when I installed cruise). Any chance bulbs are blown?
Not really sure, however, there was a red maie connector and a white female connector.that I vaguely recall, horizontal)y on top, that was unplugged during the filter change. As far as the bulbs, I'll check them but it looks too coincidental., as always, Thanks.Quote:

Is it possible that unbeknownst to you, you already had one bulb out and only noticed when the world went dark?
It would have had to have happened within the last 2 weeks as being a new bike I had to have it inspected and they would have caught that, but anything is possible.Quote:

Thats what I said, maybe I did it changing the filter or Crank Sensor, I have 2 bulbs coming tomorrow. I think she just misses you, she doesn't like NYC.Quote:

I thought I gave you a new set with the extra stuff? I liked to keep spares.Quote:

The sensor was a pro active change while I was doing the air filter as I'm leaving for California on June 5th. You probably did give me the bulbs, however, if I could find what I did with the keys to my storage cabinet, where I put that box, I'd be able to get them, meanwhile, $12 Amazon Prime worked and everything is fine. I washed her and gave her a coat of wax and she's looking pretty. Never got more thumbs up on a bike.Quote:

All bikes should be so fortunate to have this attention.
I cleaned her up, put a little lipstick on her, now I'm taking her to the dance, she's gonna do a lot of jitterbugging.Quote:
