Why don't I have taillights on my Eagle scooter?

by Anonymous
(Somewhere)

I have an Eagle 150 GSR. When you turn the key on, the tail light, license plate light, instrument light and front running light should all come on before starting. Mine don't.


I do have a turn signal, headlight (high & low beam) and brake light and the gas gauge works. Could it be a bad switch on the back of the key switch?

All the connection points are good and I don't seem to have any broken wires. Thank you for any help you can give me... Wayne

My tailight works when I hit the brakes but doesn't work normally. I cant figure it out. And I did change the bulb. It's not that.

the tailight and the brake light both use the same bulb. When I squeeze the brakes it lights up. But when in idol it does not turn on. I can't figure it out.

Follow the Wires
by: Jim Zeiser

The only light switch should be the ignition switch. I would follow the wires backwards from where they're not working and see if you can find out where the power source is. Or splice those wires into a key-on power source and get around the problem that way.

good bulbs

All the bulbs are good. I have no power to those 4 places, that's what makes me think it's the light switch... Wayne

Bulb?
by: Jim Zeiser

You say the brake light comes on but not the tail light? Have you checked the bulb? It could be a broken filament. When you take it out check for power at the socket with a volt/ohmmeter set for Volts DC.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...
