Gl1200 Neutral Light not Working
|
|
|||
The neutral light on my 84 Interstate works intermittently, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
The bike will start fine in neutral without pulling in the clutch whether or not the light is on. I have searched the forum and most of what I found is about the light being on all the time or comes on when the clutch is pulled. The OD light works fine.... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks Dale |

It sounds like the neutral light switch is loose or bad contacts. It could be wiring or a loose bulb.

I could be the bulb: the glass part of the bulb is loose inside the metal part of the bulb; the lead tip on the bottom of the bulb is not making good contact with the socket; there may be corrosion between the metal part of the bulb and the socket
There may be a loose plug in the harness leading to the bulb. Could be the neutral switch is defective, the switch may be loose in the engine block, the electrical connection at the switch could be loose. Start with the easy stuff first, like the bulb, and go from there. ~O)
enjoying the view from the saddle....... due mainly to the people and information found within this site

See the GL1000 site post on diagnosing neutral light problems. It mainly discusses neutral lights that stay on all the time but gives a simple step-by-step diagnosis procedure complete with photos and diagrams.

The neutral swith went out on mine a while back; found a used one on eBay. Once I removed the old one, I discovered I could have easily repaired it. Once of the wire connections from inside the motor broke. An interstate can use a swith from either another Interstate or Aspy, but an Aspy can only use one from an Aspy.
