Default Help!! Headlights and tail lights and markers wont come on

My girlfriend has an 01ninja 250 and all of the sudden the headlight, tail light, and marker lights quit working. The brake and turn signals still work though. I've checked the headlight fuse and all the connections and cant find the problem. I found a relay for the turn signals but is there one for the headlight that I havent found yet? Please Help! Thanks in advance...

I think it would have to be some kind of relay, or that you have a loose connection.

Sounds like a fuse to me, what the hell are marker lights?

Question: Do rides have fuseable links in the system? I have not came across a ride that does yet, but I have only had a few rides.

There should be a relay for the headlights, running lights etc...etc..... located somehwhere , I would about bet it is a bad relay . Have you gone to the 250 section to see if someone might have a diagram of the wiring which might help you trace the layout ?

[sm=smiley20.gif]I found out that it was a bad relay inside the junction (fuse) box. It took a little while but finally traced it back to that. New one should be delivered in a few days. Thanks for all the help!
