The light is controlled by a switch. In my shop manual for the 75-79 Goldwing and on my 1976 GL1000, the switch is located on the right side of the crankcase (motor) in the general area of the right hand exhaust pipe.
Brief explanation of the circuit (according to the way it functions on my Honda) is that the bulb has a constant voltage from the fuse block. The ground side of the bulb runs directly to the neutral switch. When the switch is closed (connecting the wire to ground), the circuit is completed and the bulb lights up.
Locate the neutral switch on your Goldwing and disconnect the wire. Make sure the wire terminal does not touch anything on the bike and turn the ignition on. If the light goes off, replace the switch. If the light stays on, the wire itself may be shorting out to the frame or some other metal part on the bike. Inspect the wire for worn insulation along the entire length.
