XT660R Rear and indicator light problem

Hi All


I own a 2011 XT660R and while wiring up my tail light did a very stupid thing. I know it was wrong I had my ignition on and while wiring up my tail light one wire accidently touched the black wire causing a click from the right side of my bike. I nearly kicked myself as I did such a stupid thing. I checked the fuses as the indicators and tail light stopped working. No blown fuses. So I took the right cover off and there I replaced the indicator relay thinking it had blown. But still no joy. No indicators or tail/brake light. No light in headlight when ignition on. But headlight comes on when started and horn works. What else could this idiot check or have popped.

Thanks in advance

And from memory that is the normal operation of the head light. Comes on when the bike starts and will stay on if the kill switch is engaged to stop the engine, until ignition switch is deactivated.

Hi nikroc


Thanks for the tip. I found the little ****** last night and it was indeed blown. Replaced it and all working again. Rode into work today smiling like a cheshire cat even though there is ice everywhere.
