no speedo or tach lights
« on: September 25, 2008, 06:48:12 PM »
Hey guys, I am having trouble figuring out why I have no dash lights on a 71 cb500 four. The two bulbs are good but I am not getting 12 volts to the sockets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A bit of a long shot. Do you have your lowbeams on?

I believe they only come on with the low beams?

Dash bulbs plug into the rats nest behind the headlight. Perhaps they're not pluged in?

Should be able to find the manual w/wiring schematics in the FAQ section if it turns out to be more than that.
