Reply to "Help with headlights??"

Expanding on Forest's note: the hot wire for the headlight switch goes to an isolating grommet/vibration mount 'thing' that I've had trouble with. The motor must run isolated from ground. The actual motor wire is only about 3" long, then it plugs into the isolater. Which is bakelite and often cracks. Once cracked, the wire either opens (no power to the motor) or shorts (blows fuse). I had one that cracked and soaked up enough water that it sizzled when the key was on and the light switch was activated.

The simple fix is to remove all the grommet/isolater parts that hold the wire to the back of the motor case, connect the motor wire to the loom wire, tape or otherwise insulate the connection and zip-tie the combination to the motor body to prevent vibration from harming the very short motor wire. This may not be all of your problem but I assure you- its worth doing!
