Head light not working..

Hello,
I wonder if anyone can please help. Went for a ride in the marvellous spanish countryside and all of a sudden head light and stop light stopped working. I replaced the blown out bulb but still not working. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Assuming the replacement bukb is not faily, check the fuse & try prodding/wobbling the starter button to see if you can get it to flicker.

Hey, thank you for your reply.
Yes, forgot to mentioned that the fuse had also blown and I replaced it.
I guess I'll check the starter button tomorrow and keep you posted on outcome.
Thank you again.

Ok,
I've disassembled the start switch unit as well as the indicator/horn unit, I've removed dust and blown compressed air. Put back everything together, double checked head light bulb and fuse...still not working
..
Could it be something related to head light relay??
Cheers

Thank you mate,
I will check all the other fuses and if the problem persists I will visit my local honda dealer.
Will keep you posted.
Cheers

:084:Difficult to say... I must have inadvertently wet somewhere near the electrics or switches last time I washed the baby.. When I arrived at Honda, I found that the fuse had blown again. The dealer changed it and checked all contacts using a tester but couldn't find anything wrong. He suggested I pay attention to the circumstances in which the event occurs..if it does go wrong again..
Have a great day.

It's worrying that you have had the fuse blow at least twice....
It sounds like there is a short somewhere.
