NB FEK installed, brake light works no running light
Ok, so a pretty straightforward install. I did a test run with the tail light, and the brake and running both worked. Went inside for dinner. Came back started bolting everything together and low and behold the running light would not worked. Checked the ground, reversed the leads (NB said this might be an issue w/some Triumphs) and still nothing. Changed bulbs, still not right. Unplugged and hooked up the OEM fender and lights. Brake and no running light. What the heck. I have an old Lucas light, tried that same thing. On the way to work picked up 2 new bulbs and a few 5amp fuses. I suppose a voltmeter is something I should own too.
Any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this. I was expecting to have it together in an hour or less. It was well past midnight by the time I gave up on it.
BTW: the lucas tail light from NB is pretty flimsey. The white plate lens had already separated from the red. I will be hitting them up for a replacement. The turnsignals (chrome) are pretty darn solid.
