If you checked the voltage with the bulb/led in circuit at the actual contacts of the bulb, then the bulb/led is faulty. If you have checked the voltage with the bulb/led disconnected and you have 6 volts, then you have a high resistance connection or a weak battery that can only supply a few milliamps, enough to read on your meter but not enough to drive the bulb/led.

SOURCE: red light fashes 6 times

Six blinks=no horizontal (H STOP), no raster, goes to the blinking self diagnosis function immediately. check the horizontal circuits, not sure what the repair will cost you.

you can try this to reset the tv to manufacturer defaults, but there is no guarantee it will clear the problem. to do this, with the tv in standby, quickly press "display", channel "5", volume "+", then power. once the service menu is up, press 8 and then enter, and lastly the power button.

this should reset to factory defaults. once again, no guarantee this will help, but the no horizontal (h-stop) diagnosis should give you something to ask the repair techs about over the phone to get a rough estimate of repair cost.

SOURCE: front light will not work

Before you go any farther stop. Unplug the refrigerator for the wall receptacle then look into the light socket (use a mirror if necessary), now see that contact point in the bottom of the socket? Raise that contact point to where it will ouch the bulb when you screw it back in. Now screw in the bulb plug in the refrigerator and open the door. Did I do OK ?

SOURCE: High beam headlights quit working. Bulbs are OK.

When you checked the bulb plug and got 12 volts, did you meter ground some where else on the car? If so, you might check ground also at the plug.

SOURCE: After leaving the last gas

Ok, let's check the charging system. The battery is easy. Take the battery out of the bike and take it to an automotive parts store. Ask them to load test the battery for you. If the battery is over two years old, it could need replacing.

Once you're sure the battery is good and it is FULLY CHARGED, we can test the rest of the system. You'll need a DVOM (digital volt ohm meter) to check the system. With the battery back in the bike, connect the DVOM across the battery. Red meter lead to the positive terminal of the battery, black meter lead to the negative. Put the meter's function selector switch in DC VOLTS, 20 VOLTS or greater. Start the bike and bring it to a high idle. The meter should read 14.5 - 15.0 volts.

Now, to test the stator, follow the wires from your regulator down to where it goes into the engine cases. Disconnect the connector and look into the engine side of it. You'll see two metal contacts down in there. Set you meter's function selector to AC VOLTS, 50 VOLTS or greater. Start the engine and bring it to a high idle. Touch each one of the metal contacts down in the engine side of the connector with a meter probe. It makes not difference since we're measuring AC voltage at this point. The meter should read at least 30 volts.

Now, if the alternator (stator test) does not put out at least thirty volts, the stator is bad and needs to be replaced. If the alternator does check good but not enough voltage at the battery, your regulator may be the culprit. Make sure all connections are clean and tight and that the body of the regulator is grounded good. Recheck the test at the battery. If it still fails, replace the regulator.

Now, I've seen may problems such as your's that are intermittant. In other words, the problem is here on minute and gone the next. I fought that on one bike for over a year until we finally replaced the entire charging system and fixed it. If your bike proves to be doing that, you may wish to consider that option. Fix the thing and be done with it. I wouldn't buy the rotor, just the stator and the regulator.

Good Luck
Steve

Testimonial: "right on with the test procedure. Battery didn't show it was charging. While the stator test showed 30vac, an ohm test showed it was grounded. Thanks "

I have a 05 chevy equinox and the left brake light wont work...I changed the bulb and the light works but when i push on the brake it wont light up...any ideas of what it might be...

If you're sure the bulb is good, your next step would be to get a volt meter and test the bulb socket. You most likely have either corrosion in the socket or possibly a bad wire or ground.

The interior light does not work no more for the meter gage and the nobs, just wondering what could be wrong, and if I be able to fix it? Thanks Pete.

It sounds as if you mean that your back-light on you CB has gone out.
If that is the case usually it is a burnt out bulb or blown fuse. If it's an older unit it should be fixable. If its newer then the odds of fixing it decrease.
The first thing to try is unplugging the CB and wait a while to let the capacitor discharge. Take it apart. Then check the bulb. (older bulbs can be sensitive to the oils on your hands use a rag.) If it looks fine you can test it with an electric meter. If its burnt or the filament is broken buy a new bulb. If the bulb is fine check for a fuse. If the fuse it burnt buy a new one. (an old fix is wrapping the fuse in aluminum foil and reinserting it. This will likely cause more serious damage but will temporarily fix your problem.) If its newer and uses integrated LED's and has no fuses the odds of fixing it are slim. If this is the case your circuit board is probably burnt and it probably wont function either.
Always check warranty info and try manufacturer replacements before taking electronics apart. Avoid electrocution.

CHECK THE BULB SOCKET WITH A VOLT METER. IF YOU ARE GETTING VOLTAGE, THEN CHECK THE BULBS WITH AN OHM METER, & SEE IF THE BULBS ARE REALLY GOOD. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN VOLT/OHM METER, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE CHEAPER TO JUST REPLACE BOTH BULBS.

reasons bulbs keep blowning.your head light bulbs is halogen bulbs.dont touch with bare hands.the oils on your hands will make them over heat and blow.so use clean gloves on your hands when replacing the head light bulbs.if all is good.check alternator out put.it could be overcharging causing too much current flow through electrical circuit blowing out bulbs.use a digital volt meter hook it battery with car running battery voltage should be 13.5 to 14.5 volts. if it is 15 to 16 volts too many volts.alternator is faulty.due to lock out features turn off radio before disconnecting battery cables so you wont lose radio playing code.

Tag lights wont work on 2001 jimmy. I replaced the bulbs and they still wont work

remove the bulbs & check for 12 volt current with the light switch on using a multi meter or test light.(ground it to a clean spot on frame of the car) If there is dirt present in the receptacle sometimes it will not get a good ground. If you have 12 volts in the receptacle check the ground for continuity.

High beam headlights quit working. Bulbs are OK.

If your getting power at the headlight wire harness, then it's going to be the bulb it self, but make sure your checking the right 12 volt terminal at the plug. There should be three terminals there, there is a ground, 12 volt low beam, and a 12 volt high beam. If both the low and high 12 volts are getting power, then it's going to be the head light bulb it self that has reached the end of it's life time since the day time running lights are always on which is the high beams. Good luck and check the fuse box under the hood by the battery.

Rear interior light and door courtesy lights not working- Jaguar

take off the cover and replace them. if you have a volt/ohm meter you can put if on the car side and make sure you have voltage and the ohm meter on the buldb should give a 1 rating if its good. it would be the cheapest and easiest to just get a new bulb and see if it works then start checking fuses if its not the bulb.
