Electrics frustration no lights work after fixing headlight

Yes but you also have to connect the yellow. Let's carry on section by section.
Leaving the r/hand switch still connected AND switched to main beam disconnect the l/hand dipswitch and see if you have power coming out of the bl/white wire coming over from the r/hand switch. You have to leave it connected otherwise you will be disconnecting the yellow wire as well. See what happens?

 

Just done that and no power coming from the r hand switch

 

What are you using to test all this?
It's very strange as basically the brown, yellow and bl/white wires are connected when switched on so providing the yellow is supplying power to the switch and it is switched to main beam power should come out of the bl/white wire??
I know Chinese switches aren't brilliant but there is just a chance this switch is faulty??
Can you do a continuity test on the switch as well? Mainly between the yellow and bl/white connections switching between off and fully on.

 

Using a multimeter to test volts. I' getting 14v to the selector switch but for some odd reason it just wont make it through the switch

 

Sorry I added a bit to the last post.

 

Oh sorry yeah I get continuty between yellow and bw when on main light and no continuity when turned off

 

So the switch appears to be working?
In that case when plugged in to the loom and the dipswitch side unplugged
you should get a continuity reading as well when switching on/off at the same colours?

 

Yes I I get continuity to right dip switch and no continuity when turned off

 

Left??

 

Sorry yes left

 

Ok now test the left switch for continuity. Not sure about the colours but you should have the pin that the bl/white goes in so that is the power in and switching between dip/main should give a reading on the other 2 wires as power comes out to either position.

 

They probably match the headlamp colours. Green/blue/white??

 

Continuity is there for the dip switch however no power gets to the switch or through the wires to the switch

 

So you are getting power across from the right switch on the bl/white wire but not through the switch?
"Yes I I get continuity to right dip switch and no continuity when turned off"

 

No the switch that controls the ignition and the headlight modes (on- visibiity lights- headlight on) gets power except is not giving power to the blue white therefore no power to the left switch and no power to the headlight as the blue white wire gives power to the headlight . It seems asif somehow no power is getting to the terminal at the switch despite there being continuity between the terminals

 

I thought we had established that when the yellow(power) and the bl/white wire were checked for continuity at the r/hand switch it worked so if you are getting power at the switch you should be getting power out????
I'm sorry but we seem to be going round in circles.
Best bet would be to get some help from someone who can actually see what's happening as it's difficult to diagnose online.
Do you know any electricians (even household) as it's basic stuff?

 

I'l have to get someone aha I suppose. Yeah the whole problem is power is going into the switch AND should be coming out! But for some magical reason it simply isnt. The switch seems to be perfect

 

Perhaps someone on here could help if they are local to you?

 

Just one final thought. Compare the wiring on both switches and see if the same wires go to the same pins on both connectors.
These switches fit lots of models/makes so it's just possible it's wired differently.
