Wingleader rear lights, not all working
Hey guys. Newbie (to Goldwings) here, just picked up a treasure today, but I'm having some light issues.

The rear of the bike is a "Wingleader" light rig all up and down. Unfortunately, most of the lights do not work at all, and the left rear turn signal light is shorting to the brake light on the lower section. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or some info on how I can pull some of this apart and start rewiring it?

Also, I have 2 extra headlights on the front that don't work, most of my right amber lights on the faring don't work, and there is a large switch on the right side of the faring, opposite of the CB that doesn't seem to do anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll just have to trace the wires, check fuses , bulbs etc. you can also apply power to disconnected light wires to see which direction problem is.
As for the mystery switch?? Just a guess that temp sensor for fan went out and someone added manual switch, then maybe disconnected when finally fixed. I've had two that sensor was fixed, and still had active manual switch for cooling fan. Try to trace wire.

PS... If the large switch is a rocker type switch in same spot as CB on opposite side, it's the air schock selector and next to it is increase/decrease. Those switches don't get used much and may have to apply a little extra pressure
