TEST PROCEDURE 30 – VOLTAGE AT HEADLIGHT SOCKET
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion. Chock the wheels.
2. Inspect wires at light bulb socket. Make sure wires are securely fastened to the contacts inside socket.
3. Remove the wire harness from the headlight (Figure 11-45, Page 11-41) .
4. Using a multimeter set to 20 volts DC, place the black (–) probe of multimeter into the black wire terminal
of the wire 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 wire 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 wire 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 wire harness
and attach using an alligator clip, the red (+) probe onto the positive battery terminal. If the multimeter
reading is approximately 12 volts, the black wire has continuity.
