Measure and record the voltage available at...
... A. the terminal board low-beam connection near the front of the driver's side inner fender
... B. the low-beam connection on the dimmer switch
... C. the common connection on the dimmer switch
... D. the headlight connection on the headlight switch
... E. the power connection on the dashboard light switch. It's on the forward end of the switch and may be marked "AMM"
... F. the non-battery side of the ammeter
... G. the battery side of the ammeter
... H. the post on the stomp starter switch that the battery cable mounts on

When you are done, turn off the headlights, put the tail light fuse back in and post the results, A through H.
Thank you!

I will do this and report back!
