Hi steve-----It's like being married really, you do something "right" and something else is bound to be wrong---know what I mean ?? If you go into a £shop , or in B&Q etc you can usually find one of these small torches. I've adapted one to take a small 12v bulb (speedo etc) and fitted it with abuot 3 ft of LT cable and crocodile clips . Makes a great test lamp and search-light.

Best bet is you disturbed a connector inside the casquette. Take it no ammeter deflection but is any other electrics affected? Check they are all tightly plugged toether.

Has anybody suggested the (possible) extra fuse under the seat. That got me on one occasion?

 Alan,


   Test light with a clip is sort of ok, but the point in using a propper test light is that you can push the spike into a wire to see if power is there without disconecting the connectors

Hi Norm---yep, spot-on matey !! In my DIY kit in the handle of the torch are some of those thin pins 'er indoors has on a magnet in the sewing machine. ideal for adjusting car screen washer jets and poking into wires etc.

 And Alan, if you have a good enough globe in your test light it can  be used as a work light as well when you are broken down on the side of the road on a dark and wet night. it could be called a test and see light then
