no headlights or high beam dash light?

tsdexter · June 6th, 2013, 08:10 AM

I noticed last night when riding after dark that my headlights don't work, both the high and low don't come at all and the high beam indicator doesn't light up when the high beam switch is set to high or when the key is at 'on' and all lights light up.

I had a major flood at my house over the weekend including water into the garage which caused extremely high humidity and also the repair crew left an industrial dehumidifier running 24 hours/3 days right beside the bike..

Could this issue have been caused by either the humidity or the dehumidifier? I'm looking at $20k+ in damages/repairs so I'm well past my insurance deductible - if this or any other issues can be caused by these circumstances I'd like to get insurance to pay for a full inspection/repair on the bike to make sure it's safe/won't have brake lights/turn signals go out while I'm riding...

Thanks for the help.

Darn, that sucks

Start with the simple stuff. Fuses, battery, ect...

Good luck and hope the insurance comes through for you.

I would check fuses first. Might not hurt to take the bike to a mechanic who can look over corrosion or other possible damages.
