My dipped and full beam headlights don't come on. Usually dipped light always on when ignition turned on, but both still work when using 'pass' flashing switch. Tried WD40 on switch, no obvious loose wires, bulbs and fuses OK. Any suggestions?
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Check the starter switch. There is a hidden switch inside the starter switch. When the starter switch is pressed, this hidden switch disengages the headlight. This is to ensure that the starter gets maximum power when starting and not partially robbed by the headlight. Depending on the version, this switch would be connected to the black/red & blue/white wires.
A way to confirm is to partially jumper these 2 wires.
Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
Good stuff my man. I had this same problem and I was freaking out but it turned out my ignition switch was stuck in a little bit. Thank you so much dude.

Maybe it just sticks a bit? pulling back the starter switch was the trick for mine...a little dusting with a paint brush and i was good to go
Same issue for me too! Can't believe I missed that!
A huge thank you. Same issue for me.....Squirted with WD40 and no issues now. This was after spending an age checking bulbs, wiring and fuses. Thanks again

Hello, apologies for the silly question but i am unsure. I'm having the same issue with lights (front and back), when you say 'starter switch' is this also known as the 'kill switch'?
