2017 EX Headlight Dimmer Switch problem? - sleeper_imp - 06-05-2022
Headlight dimmer switch
High beam position - NOT WORKING, no blue indicator
Low beam position - working
Passing light control switch headlight.
Flashes the high beam headlight - working - yes/blue indicator
Noticed earlier after getting the bike home, just now investigating.
USED 2017 EX, low mileage bike.
Anyone else experience this ….
Still under warranty.
Thanks,
sleeper/RajunCajun

Something in the switch, maybe? Disassemble it and give it a clean?

I would recommend taking it to the dealer for the repair under warranty.

Even better idea. I don’t know how I missed that important sentence.

Normally I would agree with Cormanus and dig into the switch, since the passing light works. But as it's a safety issue, the Honda dealer would likely replace that $145 switch. And if it's the LED headlight unit itself, that's over $1100.
Sometimes, when there is evidence of tampering, a service manager can deny warranty coverage.

Amazon has them for $1116.75, but shipping's free. And it's such a crappy light.
Hmmm, maybe I should order a spare headlight, just in case.
........I'll call Bike Bandit in the morning.
