No lights at all!

Hey guys I just purchased a 1981 Kawasaki 305 car. Everything works perfect on the bike almost mint condition. Only thing is the lights are not working. No headlights brake lights turn signals or the light indicators. I checked all the fuses and they're fine. Does anyone have an idea of anything else it could be?

Did you test the fuses or just eyeball them? Glass tube fuses can look good and be bad at the same time. The element can come loose at one end inside, thus look fine, but have no continuity. They really need to be tested with a meter or test light.

I got tired of glass tube fuses, always being corroded and losing tension. Replaced with ATC fuse 6 place have Xtra slots for Xtra fuses. ( ;> Very similar to the one pictured below . ( I do keep and have all the original parts to put her back to stock/original )

Okay so all fuses are good I use the test light. And still nothing though I did notice that there are two wires that arent connected to anything. I took a picture of them and the attachment. Maybe this is the corporate, please tell me something good.
