my low beams are screwed. It's an H4 conversion. The plug gets 12v when the switch turns on, but the instant it goes to ground, the power drops to nothing. (.05v to be exact) it's so weird. I checked the ground. no dice. Checked the other headlight, same story. Any ideas? I was thinking either the turn signal/multi switch, or a relay. Anyone?

turns out the main switch was bad. swapped it out with the turn signal/headlight assembly from another 240 and she works like magic. Now just need to order one. Rock on!
