Default No Lights (Still)

hey guys,
I don't have instrument, turn signal or tail lights on my '76.. They were working last spring when I upgrade to LEDs and replaced my tach. At some point during re-assembly they all quit working. Fuses are good, doesn't seem like
the headlight switch. I have been crazy busy all summer and had to let this go, but the cooler weather has me ready to ride.
Please note, there is no wiring block under the left fender like on earlier models, which most people suggested to me earlier. The only fusable link I've been able to locate goes directly into the back of the fuse panel and its okay.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
- Jay

Make sure you have positive and negative wired correctly. They are not reversible on LED. Also check and see if you are getting power back to the lights. I believe you have to change the flashers also due to less resistance.

Good luck

I didn't change the flashers, just the instrument lights. They were working briefly.
thanks for the response

Check your ground wires, and possibly jumper across each light to make sure they work. Or change back to regular lights and see if they work.

not a bad idea. I'm leaving on vacation, I'll try it when I get back.
Thanks!
