    Haunted Headlight ! HELP !! :)

    Having a strange problem with my headlight. My indicator dashboard lights started acting funny.(Both came on at the same time for no Reason). I noticed my headlight was not working, so i replaced the bulb but it has not resolved the issue and now this is what happens when I turn on the headlight switch...

    Headlight Switch Off: Headlight goes off, indicators work ok.
    Headlight Switch ON: Both indicators come on, (not blinking). Headlight struggles for power and is very dimly lit or goes out completely !

    I took out the headlight assembly and put it back in without doing anything, and everything started to work fine again, but alas the problem has returned a few days later !!

    Is my bike haunted or is there a fix based in electrical science that can help !!

    Thanks !

    Some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty. I say “Are you gonna drink that?”

    It sounds to me like you have a bad ground at the headstock.
