headlight warning light

[GS1100ez]

driving home last night
high beam on
the red light right above the high beam indicator turned on, would stay on then go off, and then sparatically on and off while driving

i was able to see it was the headlight indicator light

my headlight was on, and all was working fine

what would cause this indicator light to come on?

[DanTheMan]

A ground or power wire for the indicator light is making and breaking contact causing the indicator light to show sporadically. That's my guess from the description.

Not sure if those warning lights reset themselves automatically.

I have seen some systems that you needed to turn the key off, then on, to reset any warning lights.

Mine have been going on and off like that for years. Its been discussed here plenty of times with no real conclusive reason. I believe its the control module for the indicators mounted on the frame above the carbs.



Try cleaning the control module connectors. It didnt help mine at all but its worth a try.....
