The tail light was not working. The brake light works (although for me the brake light would not work with the front brake) but the running tail light does not.
The bulb was fine, but my meter says the wires back there are not getting any juice. After taking the whole dammed scooter apart and tracing down every wire I almost gave up. I decided to look behind the horn.
SOLUTION: There is a fuse box containing one fuse and a spare behind the horn. Here's how to get to it.
Horn Box
Open the glove box and loosen the two screws.
Gently remove the badge and loosen the screw behind it.
Now the horn assembly will come loose. Be careful of the wires going to the horn.
Here's the plastic fuse box with the purple wire. There's a metal holder keeping it in place.
It was a 10mm bolt. I did not have to remove it entirely, just loosen it enough to get the fuse box out.
And here is the blown fuse with the spare. After replacing it the tail light worked again! Hope this helped.
Hey Keith, Thanks for posting. I have a 2007 Stella. Got a question for ya' In all your repair work have you ever located the PRD (Preventive Restart Device). My elec starter just gave out one day, and I've tested just about everything I can think of 'and find' but can't seem to locate the elusive PRD. I'm guessing it's under the horn assembly cover. Since you show taking it off to repair your tail light issue, I thought I'd ask if perhaps you saw it there before I dismantle all that.
