    Was there a earth cable near the starter motor that you might have ripped off ... or forgot to reconnect

    Attach a jumper lead from the body & the chassie .... to the negative side of the battery to check

    The switches get hot which allows the termianls to move away from the contacts. Then one day then then just stop working.

    Are you running a relay on the lights?

    You can strip the switch and reshape the contacts as a test from memory

    I dont think so no, but if both are now broken, but working fine on high beam thats where I would be looking.

    Are the head light bulbs the std wattage?

    you could try fuse 3 under the seat.

    I have the diagrams for the head / seat and tail lights here. I will scan them.

    Back shortly.
