I changed my oil one day and now my neutral light stays on. Also my 2 sport lights do not work and the main headlight does. I checked the sport light bulbs and they appear to be fine. Any suggestions would be appricated

thanks

 

I might be able to help with the lights, there is 2 fuses under the seat i would check thier first.

 

i tried the two fuses under neath the seat. the both appear to be good.

thanks

 

The neutral light wire attaches to the motor right underneath the oil filter cover. Its always in my way when I do an oil change. I would make sure it is still attached to the motor (its a tiny little ring connector with a tiny bolt that goes through it).

 

For the oil light: Are you sure the motor is getting oil ? Take the oil filter cover off and make sure oil comes out, if not you may have to bleed the oil system. If there is oil these it is probably a sensor problem. The oil sensor is right behind the cylinder with one with attached to it. Make sure its connected and not full of water or anything like that.

For the headlight problem:

Of course you have checked the bulbs right ? The other lights only work on hight beams, it the head beam working on the main headlight(you should see the bead switch locations. If the bulbs are good it could also be a switch problem. I have gone threw a few multi function switches over the years - try playing with the switch a little.

 

Thanks!

It looked like i crimped the neutral light wire in the oil filter cover. i repositioned the wire and the neutral light went off.

Thanks!

 

I checked the bulbs and they appear to be fine. my main headlight works fine on low and high beam. Do you still think it could be a problem with the main light switch for my auxulary lights not working?

 

Glad you got your neutral light squared away. It is very easy to get that wire stuck inside the oil filter cover. As for your Baja lights, I have had a similar problem before. There is a relay on the inside of the housing on the left side light (looking from the rear). I think it is riveted on. I drilled out the rivet, removed the relay and took it to Napa Auto Parts. They were able to match it up with one that they had in stock, it cost about $10. I remounted it to the housing with a little bolt and nut, and the Baja lights were good to go. I would guess that relay is your problem. I believe the Napa part number is AR143, there is also VO7172 in smaller type on the box.

Thanks for the tip on the the relay. I replaced the old relay and now my lights work!

Thanks again

 

Glad you got your lights going again. When this happened to me a while back, I wasted money on new bulbs and changed them out (major PITA) before realizing the relay was the problem. I hate to think what the dealer would have charged for that relay. Also, the brake light switch for the rear brakes is also a common automotive part that can be found at Napa. I've had that go bad before as well.
