1982 cb750sc headlight issues!

My headlight will not turn on! I thought it was the starter switch but its not, what else could cause the headlight to never come on when i turn it on? The bulb is fine.

Fuse?  Check the plug wires for power and a good ground connection, and if none, then trace it back.  Best of luck, and welcome to the forum.

The Factory Service Manual (FSM) is available on the home page of this site.  Be sure to download it, at no cost.  Cheers!

Okay thanks I think it may be the ground because I tested the fuse.  Electrical problems are so annoying!

Just curious but have you checked to see if the high beam comes on?  Sometimes the low beam filament burns out but the high beam is still good, just a thought.  Also make sure the connections are all in place behind the headlight, then as Sgtslag suggested check for power and ground and trace it back from there.  Welcome to the forums and Im sure we can get it figured out for you!
