Rd400e Electrical problem

[noonster]

When i turn the ignition switch on.Turn lights on with switch.
Headlight comes on,but not rear light or clock lights.
Brake light works.

When i turn ignition switch  to second position on ignition switch,rear light works,lights in clock light up.

infact everything works perfect.

But i would have thought this should work soon as the ignition is switched on and not on second turn of ignition switch. thought this should have been just for a parking light.


Any ideas please.

yes, summat up with that, could be one of 2 things

1. wrong ignition switch (has a D model one fitted instead of a E/F which are different)
2. Wired incorrectly in the headlight (most likely candidate)

I could sort it for you if you could get it across to me
