Auxiliary Lamp Failure 2013 GSA

[Pughy]

Hi. My OS Auxiliary driving lamp on my 2103 GSA has packed up. I have put a new bulb in and checked the out put from the connector at 13.2 V with the engine running. Any thoughts?

Thanks

check fuse

There is power to the connector that goes onto the bulb & the bulb is brand new - the NS lamp works fine ???

Mine are the standard lamps; wherebouts is the fuse?

Take top tank trim off
Fuse is under it
Look at the front headlight
It's on the left at the top of the fork
I think it only has two fuses in there
Any probs
Les Wassell is great

Hope this helps

Tank trim is on the left
As u look at it from front
There is one screw holding it on and one popper I think

Hi Gazza

That's brilliant thanks, I have checked the fuses and one is all misty and corroded so I will get to Halfords for a new one still cant fathom out how it still gets feed to the socket !!

I'll let you know

You need Amps as well as Volts to light up a halogen bulb - corroded fuse contacts may still allow the latter while preventing the flow of the former in the necessary quantities.

Cheers Roy, that was clearly what was going on, new fuse, all sorted TA
