Dipped Gone!

[Firegus]

I fitted some aux lights [fogs] on the bike, wired them into the Main Beam wire by mistake, so they only came on with the main beam. As I wanted them to be on with the dip, I scotchlocked the wire onto the dip beam.
Now I have no dipped beam at all, main and pilot light fine, rear light fine, bulb fine, fuses appear fine.
They are wired through a relay and illuminated switch and worked ok on main beam.



Help!

Thanks in anticipation

Has the scotchlok severed the wire completely?

Better using spade connectors or I prefer to solder the wires as Scotchloks don't like vibration or the damp.

Have you tried Fuse 8. In the book it says it's not used and most think it is a spare. I found out after ripping the loom apart and tracing the wires back to the fuse box. Worth a second look.

Wire to dipped beam was fine, fuse 8 was fine, mucked about with bulbs and found the dip bulb blown, replaced it with spare - voila!

Problem now is main beam fecked, changed bulbs around and still no main beam.

Given up for today, will try another new bulb tommorow.

Spots work great tho`

Thanks again.
