Well, once again I am chasing electrical gremlins on the DRZ (no the stator is strong).

I lost power to my tank bag so I figured I had a blown fuse. Traced back to the fuse pulled it and it is fine. In the process I turned on the key switch and noticed the headlight was out. Once again no fuses blown.

So, I either have a broken wire/s, cold solder joint/s and or bad headlight switch. Fark.....

so everything powered from the battery?

test the +12 from your tank connector to red on your meter, put black on meter directlly on battery negative terminal, what happens?

try the same for your head light socket.

Tank bag is powered through a relay actuated by the tail light. Tail light and blinkers (front and back) work. The relay pulls in and actuates but I have no power to the tank bag but did yesterday. Thinking this is a broken or loose wire/solder joint.

As for the headlamp the bulb filaments appear good. There is no power to that plug. So, I am thinking it might be the headlamp switch circuit but where to start. EDIT: Just found a wiring schematic for the bike and saved it as a pdf.

It's my son's birthday so we are taking him out for dinner. I won't be back on this until the morning.

Charlie being new to bikes and all just woundering why u have power to ur tank bag?

mouthfulloflake · 03-05-2013, 04:09 PM

Enjoy the son, and the birthday dinner!

Tomorrow, things to check:

the taillight powers a relay coil, the when energized puts power to your tank bag.
you say it is pulling in, Ill assume it is clicking, so check for 12v on the input ( 30) and output lug ( 87) of the relay.
Ill assume its a common cheap bosch type headlight relay

He and his wife got pregnant, they made this video.. It is pretty damn funny.

I got outta Baton Rouge at noon or so, called it a day after 250 miles. I reset my trip on first fill 70 miles outta BR.
Incredibly windy ride, but was 68-72 the whole way. Passable.
I'll ride over Mt. Magazine on the way in tomorrow. Maybe swill, maybe not. Wifey decides.

Hope you have a safe ride home. It was very windy up here today. Yesterday was great weather.

Have a safe fun ride tomorrow.
