Light bulb works the stator works rectifier is new so I suspect it to. This is a 2014 taotao atm1-50 purchased in June so all wires shouldn't be bad so quick. Any ideas ppl?
Happy new year

Check for power at the light on both high and low beam. Check for power out of the hi/lo switch. Check for power into the hi/lo switch. Check power out of the regulator. Check power out of the stator. Basically work your way through the system and figure out where you do and don't have power and that should lead you to the culprit.

Make sure the scooter is running while you're testing. Pretty sure the headlights on these things don't run off the battery.

Sometimes a wire will get pulled out of a plug connector especially up near the neck where you are moving them around a lot. Check the connector between the scooter and the headlight., for any faults and also test for voltage on the scooter side of the plug connector with the scooter running and the connector un-plugged. Lastly, check the light socket itself for a broken wire. I know that they use a cheap little metal terminal for the green (ground) wire that attaches to the metal socket that can and will break with repeated movement.

It was the connecting socket near gas tank was lose and it became disconnected and I wondered why it flickered when I was hitting bumps I wish this app could update so ppl can easily post pic and videos from their phones I think I did a terrible job at explaining the culprit.

I bet it was a t looking connector? Put a small zip tie on it these dont seem to stay locked together well. Had same issue on several scoots. Same circut powers auto enricher & charging from stator.

That's probably the reason she wouldn't hold a charge brand new battery I was getting upset charging so often

It's normal to have power on one wire going into the brake lever switch and not the other. What happens is that power is supplied on one side of the switch by one wire, and then when the brake lever is pulled the circuit is completed in the switch and power can flow through to the other wire and on to brake lights and the starter relay. What you need to know is if you get power all the way through the switch when it's depressed. You can either hook up the wires and look for power on both while pulling the lever or set your multimeter to check resistance Ω. If you check for resistance, you should see that there's no connection between the two prongs or wires of the brake switch when it's not in use. Most meters will display 0.L in that case. When you pull the lever, you should complete that circuit and then find the meter reading 0.00 or very near it. If these two things don't happen, the switch is bad.
If you can't get it going before you must use the scooter, you can use a screwdriver to jump the two terminals on the starter relay and get the engine to crank over, if you don't have a working kick start and the switches were the only issue. Be aware that you must not touch any part of the metal frame or anything but the two posts of the relay if you try that or you risk shorting it out, causing sparks, and so on. Also remember that if a lever switch is not functioning, you will not be warning anyone behind you that you're slowing so it is a safety concern.
