Tail light not working

[4wd_haggis]

Gday all another issue.
My rear tail light isn't working.
The brake element works fine.. buzzed out the tail element and that is a closed circuit.
Stripped the bike down to trace the wires. i found heaps of damaged wire. so repaired n traced. the tail light wire comes from the module under the key lock. I pulled the cap off the bottom n checked the solder joins they seemed fine and clean.
The module seems to have signs of overheating. as in melted plastics... i dont have a manual, is there anything else i can look at also.
Has anyone had this problem.


Cheers Dan

Globe?

A lovely bloke in blue brought to my attention my tail light was out.. upon starting the bike again it came on..no problem, but i got a warning anyway .. traced it back to the ignition switch. .. Must get around to fixing it

Yours sounds like wiring, get it tested..

If you have a multimeter, check volts at the lamp socket ; if ok, then...

substitute a known working bulb for your original ...

If it still doesn't work, check the switch.

If no joy, consult an expert ....

na the globe is fine..

i got 3 n all dont work on tail.but they have continuity through the element. there is no voltage at the socket.. the wiring has continuity all the way back to the ignition switch n there is 0.2volts there so im guessin that its knackered.
i had a look to see if it would open up but not sure how. i got the ignition switch off the handlebars. I pulled the inspection cap off n the solder joins look fine. but the internal contacts maybe farked. ya reckon i could spray silicon spray up in it.
