hello everyone,

i have a 1979 CG125

i removed the indicators a while back so it just has the headlights, horn and taillight / running light. a few months ago the low headlight blew, and i had to use the high beam. the horn wasnt working either and i saw the fuse was blown. now, when i change the fuse, the horn will work for a few minutes, then blows.

i have a multimeter.

what can i check? something is earthed that shouldnt be? something that should be earthed is not?

other fault finding tips?

thanks, hope you have a beautiful saturday

Fit a new headlight bulb of the correct original wattage.

Don't press the horn.

hi

any other advice, maybe using the multimeter? where there should and shouldnt be a complete circuit.

the headlight is the correct headlight bulb, and i like to use my horn.

disconnected horn

disconnected headlight


still blowing fuses,

gonna check the taillight and i guess the wiring harness to see if its grounded out somewhere?

could my rectifier be blown or something where the generator is producing too much power ?
