Intermittent headlight

I thought I had a headlight bulb out on the right side. After deciding to hold off on changing it (being because it's a huge pain in the ass), I noticed that it's on again. It remained on for some time, until I put her away again, and again this morning, out again. I tried cycling the ignition a few times, and giving the headlight a few good taps and rattles to shake it up but nothing. Bulb still looks good. What could be causing this? Has anybody had this problem before? Both my highbeams work fine FYI. Thanks!

 

Very common problem, nearly once a week it seems to come up, you are not alone. Sorry I can't remember exactly but it is in the switch, pull it apart and clean it with some cleaner seems to fix it

 

The problem resides within the START pushbutton, which also sends power to the headlight. Weak return spring, sticky button, or dirty contacts cause it. Get into the habit of pulling the button back out to the fully OFF position. :tranquillity:

 

Cool! I will start there!

 

Definitely check out the starter button. Cleaning helps, but remember to pull back towards you after starting is the fix for most.
