    Question Headlights Stopped working!! Any fix ideas/suggestions?

    I don’t ride a lot at night so I do not know when this actually started. Both front headlights and mirror running lights are not working. There is also no actuator noise when toggling the HI/LO switch. I have checked the fuses and relays in the frunk and under the seat. Voltage shows 14v at idle. Not sure where to dig in next. Only electrical mod I have done is adding the LED strips to the fenders and replacing the fender running light bulbs with the appropriate LED bulbs.
    Thanks in advance!!

    ****UPDATE*** Making progress! Swapped relays around and got the headlights to work.

    I think there is a relay for the headlights. I don't know that model though.

    What was your final fix?
    A bad relay(s)?
    Corrosion on the contacts?
    Or something else?

    Thanks for the Heads Up. ......
