    Default Headlight Question

    Both headlights and foglights are off. Is it possible that relay has blown even though there are no codes flashing?
    Thanks

    Yup-- check relays and fuses... had this happen once.......can't recall which it was....

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    So, it turns out that the fuse box under the seat has a headlight fuse...

    Blown fuses (especially big ones) happen for a reason. I'd keep looking for a cause.

    It was blown... but in 4 1/2 years and 80,000 km's it's the 1st and only fuse I've blown. Have a spare one now and if it blows again... I'll have to troubleshoot.
