Headlamp bucket wiring on a CL77

[LOUD MOUSE]

Call me Gary. .................lm

OK, as a follow up to the follow up, I plugged my headlamp in as follows:

Red to red on harness from dimmer switch

Blue to blue on harness from dimmer switch.

Green to three socket green from main harness.

Now I get the HL to come on with HL switch in the LH position (Position I) !!!!!!!!!!!

According to my book, it should come on in the RH position only.

Also as an added note. Dimmer switch does not switch HL from low to Hi beam with HL on in the LH switch position.

AND, horn will work with the HL switch in the "0" position but will not work in either position I or position II.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

I am having the exact same problem as ggray! i pulled the whole harness, stripped it down and found no shorts! I have a '68 cl77 when i got it there was no switch or speedo and nothing was hooked up in the bucket. I belive the bike hasnt been charging because nothing was hooked up, anyways i got a switch and speedo on ebay. and installed it just as ggray stated before according to the cl72 diagram i found.

The headlight is grounded to its bezel. Should it be ran to the green 2 pronged female bullet connector?

And could the used switch i just got be bad? It doesnt blow the fuse when the switch is the middle position but it does in both other ones.

cheers and thanks
