G3 headlamp not working

[scudo]

Headlamp not working, bulb is ok.
When I opened up the case there was a loose terminal, I reconnected this but still not working, the loose terminal gave me a continuity reading between that and at the bulb socket.

The two wires that come from the headlamp one which was loose and reconnected the other I cant see where it goes.

Before I start to strip the machine further can anyone offer any guidance for further checking.

the two wires from the headlight wrap around the leg of the handle slide bracket support and plug into the switch.

I found those ok the blue wire was the loose one and I reconnected, the red one disappears down below somewhere so it looks like I will need to further dismantle to find where it is attached.

The top wire that was disconnected in the image on 2nd reply above (blue) attached is an image of the socket quite difficult to see but there is a metal prong in there that the wire should push in to. Is there part missing ie maybe a tang broken off or is the part in there maybe needing teased out a bit to make a connection.

Is there a way to check the metal tang inside the hole for continuity or whatever while the Kirby is non live.

UPDATE:

Now sorted, I bent the tang out a bit to get a better connection and the headlamp is now working.

Yes

You touch tang with black probe and wire with red prong. That will tell u if your tang is continuity.
