I'm an electrical idiot. Never gotten my hands dirty in my life UNTIL I bought my 1985 Nighthawk 450 a couple weeks ago. Wasnt running and now its running like a champ thanks to forums like this and the Clymers. Now the last two things that I CANT figure out. My horn and headlight are not working. Already tested horn and headlight individually so I know its not a problem with them. I have tried studying and analyzing the wiring diagram in my clymers and it might as well be instructions to deactivate a nuclear bomb thats written in german. I have no clue what it means and the only time I've tried messing around with stray wires sparks flew like 4th of July and I burnt my fingers. SO...my question is this..where do I start and what do I check? You might have to use caveman language with me because even "check the terminals for a bad ground" means absolutely nothing to me cause I have no clue what those are. Only shop around in my area that will do the electrical on this wants $90 an hour just to look at it. Trying not to go that route. I apologize for my idiocy but I'm sure most people understand that everyone use to know nothing and that happens to be the stage I am in. If you need more info let me know I can post and reply pretty quickly. Thanks and I'll post some pics too if need be.
