1978 Honda CB550 K4 electrical
« on: September 24, 2013, 08:32:12 pm »
I drove home the other night and had to use my highbeams, my lowbeams keep dimming to the point I couldnt see. When I got home I took the headlight off to see of there was a loose wire or something else easily visable, couldnt find anything. When I put it back together I had lost power to all my gauges and dash componets. ie: horn, lights, ignition and turn signals.  Since then I replaced the battery and rectifer, I have power to the regulator, alternator, rectifier. I am at a loss as to what to do next, is there a fuse or something I am missing. All my tube fuses are good and cant see an exposed wirer.

Thanks for your help

Looks like a pesky ground connection.
