Re lights not working

Hi I am assuming the fuses are in the headlight shell will look tomorrow I have a wiring diagram and can see the brown is live up to the switch so will start there that goes from the handle bar switch to the fuse box and then  changes to red and onto the ignition switch can any member confirm if this is right oops forgot I am working on 1976 falcone Sahara model regards mike

Well it was quite simple found fuses in head light just as I thought one blown replaced it with slightly uprated fuse but have to wonder why it blew in the first place  any way booked in for mot can't wait to ride it brought the tick over up a little it was slower than a stationary engine

Hi Mike
I had similar problems  with mine when i first got it , the headlight fuse had been replaced with a  piece of wire , i replaced it with a proper fuse  and it lasted one ride  before it blew, this happened a few times and i started to understand that my  bike has an issue  with the connections  or something  in the terminal block.  I bypassed the  fuse holder and eventually realised the problem was between the fuse  holder and the block  ,  between the front and back of the bakelite  panel.. so hard to find and fix , i have bypassed that  connection , its not as neat as the original  but its still working fine now .
cheers

Hi thanks for that I had thought of fitting relays and using the the fused wire just to switch them if the problem persist but have not used it yet guess a daylight run withthe lights on will be the test better than waiting and being plunged into the dark thanks for your thoughts

Wiring at and around the handle bar switch might be worth looking at too.
In the dim and distant past, I was the unfortunate and highly unskilled owner of a TR25 Triumph Trailblazer, which had one fuse for the entire bike.
And it kept blowing.
Given no way of knowing which circuit was the cause, the solution was to short out the fuse, and look for the smoke.
I would emphasise that this practice is not recommended!
