I have a 2006 Ulysses and I noticed tonight as I was
Parking it in the garage that when I turn the bars all the way to the right the headlights would shut off and then come back on when I start to turn them back to straight. I didn’t have time tonight to try and diagnose it.
Has anyone else had this happen? Thanks in advance.

Your Uly has a multi-ground connection at the steering neck.

Probably broke off a wire, take the screen off and check it out.

Thanks Shoggin, I couldn’t wait till tomorrow so I went and took the fly screen off and found the grounds. You were right, one of the wires is losing connection so I know where to start in th morning. Thanks again.

Happened to all of us! Lol

Some of us added a small length of coiled wire that can take the movement in there.

Fixed! I added a length of wire and a new end.
Simple fix. Thanks everyone for the quick response. You guys narrowed it down fast for me. I’m glad it happened at home and not on the road.
