simple things first take your switch wires apart behind the head lite and hook up a oham meter and check to see if the switch is good. in the manual gives you all the different checks you can make .

Does the tail light work? If not, check the voltage between the yellow (power) and green wire (ground). I think you have a 1st gen 200x right? If there is no power there, then the alternator isn't putting out any. If there is power there, then check the switch, bulb plug, wiring, etc.
