Kill switch and headlight not working  By  scooterboy (Read 1,483 times)

You need to take the dash cover off and have a look at the kill switch/wires,,also the head light harness is under the cover,,plug may have just came loose,,or bulbs burned out.

Take your wires off the kill switch and touch them together,,if the scoot starts and shuts off after you pull the wires apart I assume the switch is bad,,you can test the switch with a DVM set to ohm or continuity beep,,switch on should show full continuity beep zero or close to zero ohms,,off should show infinity open circuit no beep.

I'm having issues with my headlight coming on too, I think its the voltage regulator, the switch seems okay

[replyingto=jerseyboy]jerseyboy[/replyingto]Okay, I haven't yet been able to get in touch with my scooter dealer, and I am still a bit confused about what I need to be replacing. I had thought that what people referred to as the kill switch button was the actual bit that I needed to replace, but when I went to find a replacement online, I saw that the kill switch seemed to refer to a different part entirely. www.eagleatvparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=92274
I am not sure where this part is located on my scooter, but I thinking it is probably attached to the key ignition. Am I right? I don't really wish to be pulling things apart needlessly.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Changed the switch on the dash today, no luck. If I close switch it starts up, but will not shut the bike down. The headlight doesn't work with the new switch in place.

It was, I pulled off all the plastics this morning and basically went around giggling connections until my scoot turned off.

There were two wires, one brown wire and one black wire, that originally connected into the kill switch, but I found that my lights wouldn't turn on if I left them connected. However with both wires now spliced together the lights now work.

For now I will simply leave as is and see how it goes.
