TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TEST PROCEDURE 37 – VOLTAGE AT HEADLIGHT SOCKET
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE (MAINTENANCE) position, put the Forward/Reverse han-
dle in the NEUTRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Inspect wires at the light bulb socket. Make sure wires are securely fastened to the contacts inside
socket.
3. Disconnect the wire harness from the headlight (Figure 11-53, Page 11-50).
4. Using a multimeter set to 20 volts DC, place the black (–) probe of multimeter into the black wire terminal
of the wiring harness. Place the red (+) probe into the blue wire terminal.
5. Pull the light switch to the ON position. If the multimeter reads approximately 12 volts, replace the head-
light bulb.
6. If there is no voltage reading at the wiring harness, check continuity of the 16-gauge blue wire from the
headlight to the light switch. Using a multimeter set to 20 volts DC, attach using an alligator clip, the black
(–) probe of multimeter onto the negative (–) battery terminal and place the red (+) probe into the blue
wire terminal of the wiring harness. If the multimeter reading is approximately 12 volts, the blue wire has
continuity.
7. Check continuity of the 16-gauge black wire from the headlight to the ground terminal. Using a multimeter
set to 20 volts DC, place the black (–) probe of multimeter into the black wire terminal of the wiring har-
ness and attach using an alligator clip, the red (+) probe onto the positive (+) battery post. If the multim-
eter reading is approximately 12 volts, the black wire has continuity.
