No power to headlight or tail light

Got her running and now trying to trace the head/tail electric. There is no power to 2 of the 3 fuses with the key in run position.

Any help appreciated.

PS Krylon clear is NOT gasoline proof. Ruined about 10 hours of meticulous work :(

Check the many and various electrical connectors. It's not uncommon to see power on one side of a connector and not the other.

Corrosion and/or damaged wiring can be a real problem to trace down.

The headlight housing has a large number of connectors inside. Plan on spending some time cleaning the connectors/doing wire repair.

Use two ways of inspecting the glass tubed fuses;

1.Remove the fuse from the clips, looking for tightness of the end caps.

2.Using either a self powered test light of a multimeter,continuity check the fuse element.

If a bad fuse(s) is found, AGX is the type of fuse usually in 10 or 20 amp ratings.

Clean the fuse clips with either a Dremel tool with a small wire brush or a cotton swab and metal polish(I use Brasso on mine).
