Hi everyone,
I bought a 1999 Vespa ET4 125cc few months ago. It was working fine, except for the front lights. I changed both front bulbs (H7 and H3) with no problem. Few days after that the scooter stopped starting. No control lights light up, the break light doesn't light up for either brake. I tried checking and even swapping the 2 fuses in the left knee compartment, but still no success. Next I plan to swap the ignition switch.
What else could cause this?
TIA

Before you start randomly swapping stuff out, get a wiring diagram.

With a voltmeter, do voltage checks and find out where voltage stops in your system.

Where is your main fuse? On my LX50 the main fuse is in the battery box.
