2010 FLHP headlight

[roadking317]

When i turned the handlebars the headlight would turn off and on and I could hear a click somewhere near the battery. I took the headlight off and I don't see anything wrong with the wiring, everything is connected, nothing loose. I checked the fuse and it's ok. When I put everything back together again, now the headlights don't turn on at all.
Anyone have this happen to them?

Do you have a multimeter sir?
Attached is the link for your wiring diagram.
You may have to set up account.
The clicking was most likely your lighting relay.
Let us know if you need more assistance.

no i do not. one of many tools i'll have to buy again.

Ok, hard to test with no meter. I'd look closely at the wires. The symptoms you describe are usually the result of a loose ground or corrosion.

Without any measurements, hard to point you in a direction.

You may also have a worn insulation on the wires.

I would look into each connector after disconnected to see if the pins have been pulled out. As the wire insulation ages it shrinks and can pull the pin from the connector.

Look at the wires as the dedicated Shovel enthusiast pointed out.
Could also be a broken wire ( or damaged) wire- the end result of years of turning the ‘bars and flexing or bending that particular wire.
A multimeter to test continuity would be most helpful to fix this.
