Hey fellas. I am having trouble with the headlights on one of my Super A's. I just re-wired the tractor and ran the headlight wiring. The test light shows the headlight connections to be "hot" when the switch is turned on (check). I hook the terminal up to the light (with new 12 volt bulb), and I get nothing. FYI, I have the glass lens off for testing. I use the test light to check power, and find that when I touch the reflector (bulb housing), it lights up the test light showing it is "hot". When I touch ANYWHERE on the reflector, the test light lights up. ALSO...when I touch the light post that the light is bolted to on the tractor, it shows that to be "hot" as well. Anything else I touch past the light post does not light up the test light.
I was assuming I had a bad ground, so I sanded down the top and bottom of the light post where it bolts to the light, and I am still having the same problem. ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!! THANKS.
