2010 goldwing audio comfort. Everything works except headlights. Headlights come on in reverse leading me to believe it’s the starter switch assembly. How hard is it to replace the assembly? I know the assembly runs about 200 bucks but debating on if it’s worth it to let mother Honda replace it. Does anyone know of a good guide to replacing it?

Re: Best option
Have you tried using a contact cleaner, not WD-40! Could be a simple fix!

Re: Best option
No I have not but probably worth a try, do I need to dissamble or just soak it from the outside?

Re: Best option
do NOT use WD-40 on switches, bad news city.
use this instead, cheaper, and designed for that job.
