Front bulb sockets are free of rust and corrosion. Voltage on those sockets is about the same ranging from 2-10 volts in both while engine is running.

I've pulled apart the connections in the headlight assembly and put them back together so those have good connections there at least.

A test light? No I have extra mini bulbs I could try between two connections.

I haven't checked the rear ones I'll do that.


I'm learning as I go here with testing stuff, I just know to make sure wires match up and connect.

I was looking for ground locations on the frame to loosen up, take rust off, and make the best connection. I know from looking off the repair pdf that there is a ground location on the engine on the rear part on top.

I just found one I didn't know about, its in the front of the engine on the right side and has a rubber boot cover over it.
