Yes, there is a fuse and a main circuit breaker. Look either under the seat or behind the triangular plate on the left side of the bike. You should find the circuit breakers and fuses in this area. The headlight and tail light are protected by the same fuse. If the tail light works, the head light should work.

Good luck
Steve

Does a 1987 gmcjimmy s-15 have a power window relay ot any relays at all cuz my power windows stoped working it runs a 30 amp circut breaker can the circut breaker go bad?

Anything can go bad, but to my knowledge circuit breakers seldom do. If you have a test light, pull the circuit breaker and probe both terminals for a power signal, with the key on. One terminal should show voltage with key on. If not, check the power distribution box for a blown maxi-fuse, or the wiring from that box to your fuse panel.
BTW, no, no relays are in the window circuit. So if the circuit breaker has power to it, put it back in and check for power on the driver's door master switch-one wire on the master should have voltage with key on. If no hot wire to the master switch, check inside the door openings for a broken wire. If you do have one hot wire there. check the power windows ground-the ground wire for the power windows originates at the master switch and goes back into the cabin to a nearby ground. Put one lead of the test light on the hot wire (key on), and probe the ground terminal at the master switch-if your ground is good, the test light will light up. If the ground is lost, no light. Check for a broken ground wire in the door opening, and/or find the ground and see if it is bad. If the master switch has a hot wire and a good ground wire, replace the master switch.

When the air conditioner runs after a while it flips the breaker even if its on its own breaker.

Hello
Either the circut breaker is too small or there are too many other things on the same circut as the a/c.

Another possible solution is the breaker itself may be bad.Or the compressor in the a/c unit is going bad.

Usually a 20 amp breaker will be good for a window a/c unit under 16000 btu.

My headlights will not come on everything else comes on but my head lights I can not find the fuse for them or could it be the circut breaker on the switch?

Look under the hood for the first fuse box, located on the driver's side. check the headlight relay it may be bad. all the relays are in this fuse box.

I have a 76 harley fx. I can't figure out the wiring. It has a batt., solonoid, coil,regulator.starter, switch, starter button, and a circut breaker.

It actually should have a lot more stuff such as headlight, taillight, brake light, turn signals, etc. What is is that you want to know? If you want a stock wiring diagram, contact me at [email protected] I think I have one here somewhere.

You have a bad mutifunction switch or headlight switch is going bad and is over heating then cooling off comming back on Have a mechanic check it cause there are other things that can cause this. Since it's not blowing a fuse at this time I would say the head light switch is bad.
