DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
“DRL” Test
The daytime running lights are powered by an AC current from
the Generator / Stator.
If running lights are not working, perform the following:
1. Disconnect the harness from the faulty light.
2. Using a Volt Ohm Meter, measure the AC voltage between
the (YELLOW) and (BLACK) wires. Voltage above 5
VAC should be present when unit is running.
If voltage is present:
1. Replace the faulty bulb.
If voltage is not present:
1. The black wire should have continuity to ground. If no
continuity is present, check for an short or break in the
wiring harness or a poor connection.
2. If black wire has good continuity to ground, check the
wiring harness from the stator to the running lights. There
should be continuity between the (YELLOW) wire at the
light connector and the (YELLOW) wire at the Generator
/ Stator.
3. If continuity is good. Perform stator resistance tests by
using the resistance chart located in the wiring diagram.
4. Replace Generator / Stator if resistance is not within
specification.
“DRL” Lamp Replacement
If the daytime running lights do not operate, lamp replacement
may be required. Install only the recommended replacement
lamps.
1. Remove cover from back of light housing
2. Press in and rotate the lamp socket counter-clockwise and
remove it from the housing.
3. Apply Dielectric Grease PN 2871329 to the new bulb
contacts and install.
4. Verify the new lamp filament is horizontal, and then
reinstall the socket into the housing and rotate clockwise
about 1/4 turn. Replace the cover.
5. Start the engine to make sure the lights come on. If the lights
do not operate, check the charging system and related
wiring for possible malfunction.
