I got an 05 yfz and the headlights dont work. I have power coming down from my switch to the wiring harness in front of the radiator but where my headlights plug into the wire harness there is nothing. I have electric to my brake light, so is there some type of box or something i should check to see if it is bad and that is why my headlights dont work. and something else that dont look right to me is i have 3 wires coming out of the headlights but where it plugs into the wire harness there is only 2 wires on the plug is this right or is my harness messed up?

Same thing happened to my buddy.

Theres a little capacitor type thing for the lights under the hood. It mightve got hit by a rock or stick or something and cracked it, thus making it faulty.

Its a little grey thing under the hood, check it out.
