I have a 2005 Kawasaki z750s. Both headlights went out at the same time. My tail lights and all dash lights work. Is it a fuse or wiring?!

Possible water damage to head light relay in the fuse box under the seat or the stator which controls the head light relay. Get a auto electrician to do an trace check on the wiring & connections to rule out all other faults. If the lights cut out after an heavy bump and come back on after a set time, the fault could be the relay or stator. Have the auto electrician resolder the relay connections in the fuse box (about 40 connections), also have an 12v LED warning light fitted to the stator connections with enough wiring so the LED can be mounted on the handle bar. If the LED cuts out the stator is at fault(very costly), if the LED stays on the head light relay is at fault. Also better waterproof the standard fuse box , the case is not that waterproofed (easy done with insulation tape). Hope this helps.

SOURCE: keep on blowing tail light fuse

The wiring to the tail light needs to be checked its grounding somewhere.
Trace it from the rear to front.

you can remove the head light bulb, power the bulb with a charger or check it with voltmeter. if bulb is good, make sure the ground is good on the light housing. if fuses are good, could be the actual switch on the handlegrips

SOURCE: my headlight dont work wires diconnected also tail

not wired properly.. temporarily splice a positive constant wire.. and hook to headlight.. to rule out headlight not working.

mess around with a tester (drawing a blank on actual name) but check to see if you're even getting power down to those components..

2007 Kawasaki 900 Classic Cruiser. The headlights and tail lights not working but brake lights do work.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks.

It can only be the headlight switch or the wiring.

The brake lights work from power, plus the brake switch and the lamp.

The headlights work from power to headlight switch to the headlight lamp and the tail light lamp.

Apparently the headlight does work via a relay so test that.

My 2005 matrix keeps blowing 15amp rear running light fuse every time light get turned on all other lights work fine.whats causing this?

fuses blow because of dead shorts or excess current draw
to blow a 15 amp fuse indicates a dead short
by disconnecting the rear lights , the problem is in something else you have replaced
could be a problem in the head light wiring

No dash lights or tail lights

Well it could always be a wiring problem, but you were right in thinking it was the headlight switch. Each circuit is different and only joins up in the headlight switch. Each circuit has a fuse sending power to the switch. So I would want to know if you have power in and out of the headlight switch on each circuit.

2007 tail light fuse location honda crv

I had this problem with my 2007 Honda CRV -- all the lights worked EXCEPT the tail/running lights and the license plate light. The other tail lights worked -- brake, reverse, indicators, and hazards. Front headlights also worked, but when the headlights went on the back tail lights did not (not to safe for driving at night!!)
The fuse was #15 in the interior fuse box (under the dash driver side) with the label "small exterior lights" ( also check fuse #19 labeled "small lights main"). The cause of my problem, I believe, is a bad or lose wire in my license plate light.

My dash board and tail lights wont work. How do i

If in fact the fuses are ok then chances are it in the headlamp switch.

You can remove the headlamp switch and using a test light check the wires one at a time while moving the dimmer switch up and down. If you don't find a wire that fades from full bright test light to nothing then the headlight switch needs replaced. If you do find that the dimmer wire is working then chances are you either have a bad ground or a broken wire.

My dash lights went out and at the same time my running day lights in the back and front went out as well. But all my brake lgihts still work..And i already checkd all my fuses and the in line fuse and...

The fuse that works the tail run lights also powers up the fuse going to the dash lights. That fuse is hot all the time and it goes to the headlight switch the switch can be bad but so can the connection to the switch and the connector to the steering collum. Test light should find two wires hot with the key off and another comes on with the key (turn signals) with the switch on two more wires will go hot (high or low beam and the tail lights) if they don't add power with a jumper wire and see what comes on there are no wires that will hurt any thing by adding power to the switch wires but one of them should turn on the tails and dash oncew you find this wire the switch should turn this wire on too if it doesnt and theres two wires hot with the key off and the switch off then the switch is bad install a new one and it'll work good

What started this mess? tailights, fog lights, brake lights....

The relay has nothing to do with the tail lights, but replacing the switch sounds like a good idea. There's a nut holding it in place, see http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/electrics/switches/switch-headlight/1027524/ to get an idea of the construction. And the price. This is not worth fiddling about unreliable workarounds...
In addition, if fuses 15 and/or 16 burn frequently there might be a problem with the tail light cabling.

Good luck
