The right front marker (parking light) gets its power from the same fuse as
the right rear. Is that light working normally? If so than you just have to
work your way to where the bad connection is. It could be right at the end
of that wire. It could also be a bad connection where the harness connects
to the fuse box.

Subject: Parking light issue, '91 Westy GL

Hi all on the list.  I'm prepping for an out of Province Inspection
(required when moving from Alberta to British Columbia or vice versa in
order to register the vehicle).

I've got an issue that I can't figure out with regards to my right front
parking light.  Signal light works fine but the parking/running light does
not get power;  A test on the wire for 12v proves A-ok until I attach the
wire to the bulb holder.  Volts drop to zero as soon as contact is made.
Bulbs swapped side to side and not the problem, bulb holder appears clean
and correct without cross-wiring, etc. The fuse remains intact when I do the
test and all other lights (brake, signal and other parking lights) are ok.

I'm sure I'm not the first to come across this issue but don't have enough
electronics knowledge to understand relay problems and the such...

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Fahrvergnugen!
