Hi, all-
I've got a 2016 Sling 2 S-LSA. I'm trying to troubleshoot landing and taxi lights not working and looking for some assistance/experience.
Both lights stopped working at the same time; I noticed when landing one evening that neither switch would activate the respective light. The 15A breaker in the panel isn't popped/tripped, and the nav/strobe lights are working.
I physically verified good connections on the light fixtures themselves but haven't started continuity testing on the cable from the lights to the panel.
My best guess is loose wire at a connector between the cable in the wing and the cable in the fuselage but I can't say for sure.
Anyone more knowledgeable than me on wiring/electronics have more ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Landing & Taxi Lights Not Working
I was able to troubleshoot the cause back to a loose ground connection on the landing light. Connection has been repaired and both lights are working properly again. Yay!
