is good so the problem is between the lamp and the power source.
To isolate the problem. Connect the jumper between the battery and the lamp. If it comes on. The
problem is between these two points. Next. Connect the jumper between the battery and the fuse side
of the switch. If the lamp comes on. The switch is good. By successively moving the jumper from one
point to another. The problem can be isolated to a particular place in the circuit
Pay attention to the following when using a jumper wire:
1. Make sure the jumper wore gauge (thickness) is the same as that used in the circuit being
tested. Smaller gauge wire will rapidly overheat and could melt
2. Install insulated boots over alligator clips. This prevents accidental grounding. Sparks or
possible shock when working in cramped quarters
3. Jumper wires are temporary test measures only. Do not leave a jumper wire installed as a
permanent solution. This creates a severe fire hazard that could easily lead to complete loss off
the motorcycle
4. When using a jumper wire always install an inline fuse/fuse holder (available at most auto
supply stores or electronic supply stores) to the jumper wire. Never use a jumper wire across
any load (a component that is connected and turned on). This would result in a direct short and
will blow the fuse(s)
Test Procedures
Voltage test
Unless otherwise specified. Make all voltage tests with the electrical connectors still connected.
Insert the test leads into the backside of the connector and make sure the test lead touches the
electrical wire or metal terminal within the connector housing. If the test lead only touches the wire
insulation. There will be a false treading
Always check both sides of the connector as one side may be loose or corroded. Thus
preventing electrical flow through the connector. This type of test can be performed with a test or a
voltmeter. A voltmeter gives the best results
NOTE
If using a test light. It does not make any
difference which test lead is attached to
ground
1. Attach the voltmeter negative test lead to a good ground (bare metal). Make sure the part used
for ground is not insulated with a rubber gasket or rubber grommet
2. Attach the voltmeter positive test lead to the point to be tested
3. Turn the ignition switch on. If using a test light. The test light will come on if voltage is present. If
using a voltmeter. Note the voltage reading. The reading should be within I volt of battery
voltage. If the voltage is less. There is a problem in the circuit
Voltage drop test
The wires. Cables. Connectors and switches in an electrical circuit are designed to carry
current with low resistance. This endures that current can flow through the circuit with a minimum
