My wire harness on my Super Glide fell down and cause my headlights and my tail lights stop working my turn signals and brake lights still work though is it a fuse for the wiring harness itself
SOURCE: the brake light and rear runnig light have stopped working
it is theelectronicbord right behind thebulb where you plug it in softails get bwater insidE ANd that burns it out i had the same problem twice i believe they call it the circuit board put a new one in they r about 50 pounds and it will work again
SOURCE: lights, turn signals, horn don't work
Look for a bad ground connection inside the headlight shell (or possibly elsewhere). The other thing that all of the items you mention that are working intermittently have in common is the ignition switch. With the switch 'on', check for battery voltage at the fuses for the headlight, turn signals, horn, etc. No voltage at the fuses likely means a bad ignition switch.
Testimonial: "quick response to my posted problem. don't know yet if that's the problem, but i've got a good place to start looking. thanks for the help."

Sorry but I don't have a wiring diagram that I can send you but I may can offer a bit of help.
Your passing lamps are simply wired into a hot circuit somewhere. A lot of schematics don't show them because they are considered "add ons". They also may have a fuse inline with the "hot" wire. They have only one wire that connects them to the bike with the rest being inside the "light bar" itself. Find the wire coming out of the center of the "light bar" and trace it back to where it hooks up. Sorry but that's the best I can do on this one.
On your front brake light, there is a switch located inside your right hand switch housing where your throttle is located. It is a plunger type switch that is activated when you pull the front brake lever. A simple test of the switch is to loosen the bolts of the master cylinder and slide it towards the center of the handlebars. If the switch is good, the brake light will come on. If the switch is bad, it will not.
To get to the switch, you'll have to take the right hand switch housing apart. First, loosen the throttle cables at the adjusters and then remove the two bolts that hold the switch housing halves together. Carefully open up the switch housing. You will see the small switch in the front of the housing. You'll have to desolder the wires, replace the switch with a new one, and resolder the wires to the new switch.
Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly. Make sure you slide the master cylinder all the way back against the switch housing or the brake light will stay on constantly. Readjust the throttle cables and check for proper operation. You don't want your throttle sticking.
Good Luck

SOURCE: where is the brake fuse
Have you been working on anything on the right handlebar? If so, you probably broke the front brake light switch. This is a common occurrence. Some times they break on their own as well. From the bottom side of the brake lever on the handlebars, look up and see if you see a pin that comes out and rest against a tab on the lever. If so, press this back into the right handlebar switch housing to see if the brake light goes off. If it does and it only take a small amount of movement, you may can loosen the front master cylinder slightly and move it down against the right handlebar switch housing. If that doesn't work. I'm afraid you're going to have to replace the switch.
Good Luck
Steve
