Default Truck-Lite

2012 Limited.. I installed a new LED Truck Lite and passing lamps about 6 months ago. Haven't been able to ride for the last 2 weeks. Went out to ride and the bike was dead. Put it on the tender for 24 hours and we're back! Went to go for a ride tonight and headlight isn't working, passing lamps work??? the blue high beam indicator is on slightly...checked fuse, good.....any thoughts? dead headlight already?

Bad ground or poor live connection. Check connectors and disassemble them to check they are clean inside.

Time to start isolating things until the problem shows up.
You could connect a DIGITAL meter to the battery, then start pulling fuses one at a time until the culprit shows up. When you first connect the meter to the fully charged battery, you will probably see a voltage drop. First fuse I would pull would be the maxi fuse, if the voltage keeps dropping with the maxi fuse pulled, it's between it and the battery, suspect: cable.
