Can't remember what you ride. Do brake lights/horn work?

If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown, too?

To tell you the truth, I don't know exactly what works when the unload relay is energised. I know from experience that if i start my 1150 wih the dip light on, it goes off while cranking.

Steptoe?

So I took the tester last night, stuck it in the socket -12V swap it around +12V. Stick the connecter back on the lamp, it works! No idea what I did, but anyway it works now.
