Title: help needed ..... maintainace on the sunshine coast
Post by: spanner on December 09, 2015, 10:47:09 AM
howdy .....

I have had an ongoing problem with my steering and also with my headlights.

I am just not mechanically or electrickery oriented enough to figure out the solution to these issues.

Is there any one on the Sunny coast or with in a few hours drive of the sunny coast who might be able to lend a guiding hand to me for my 1100 STeed?

I will be on the coast from 18th Dec to 23rd dec and then I will be 'off line' until the 2nd Jan to about the 4th Jan.

My main goal is the headlights (low Beam Issue) but steering would be good too.

I am happy to provide beer and pizza for this help and also to come to your place.

If you can help please let me know.

Cheers heaps,

Spanner.

I have had the advice and the instructions on site already ..... just can not seem to make it work OR figure out what I am touching ....... 

Low beam stopped working  and steering pulls to the right.

I need someone to show me how .

Don't have anything to offer for the steering thing.

Lights could be a few issues.

Lights get their power via the start switch. See Blue/white wire in wiring diagrams here http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8503.msg98043#msg98043 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=8503.msg98043#msg98043) from the hi/lo switch the feed then goes to the respective hi or lo relay

If the start switch gets stuck halfway then there are no headlights. The other possibility is are faulty/dirty contacts at the Hi/lo switch. Dirty contacts at the start switch can also be a cause.
