So I'm rewiring my switchs and having a little trouble. I'm eliminating kill, hi/low, on/off lights, horn. I bought a switch from DCC to run my indicators from and having trouble running them. Ive been playing around with them trying to find the right setup but keep blowing fuses and need some help. Description is below of what I've done.
Ok, after further experimentation figured out what's blowing fuses. It's how i had the turn indicators wired. The indicator switch was popping a fuse when ever actuated. So I just disconnected all that. Could it be that the switch is not grounding and that is what's causing the fuse to blow (switch is manufactored to ground to the handle bars but bars are painted so i scraped away paint under them to ground, maybe not enough)? I attached a pic of the inside of the switch. I had it set up so that
orange/white went to back left
blue/white went to back right
orange went to left front
blue went to right front
gray went to front center
How would you do it (keeping in mind that I would like the indicators to be lit at all times and to blink when switch is actuated to right or left)? I'm on my way to buy a lot more fuses
Thanks for any help, I'm at a complete loss as to how to do this correctly. And would very much like to avoid any more trial and error situations. Here's whats up with the rest of the wires currently if that helps at all.
yellow- closed (tied off)
yellow/white- closed
red/black- closed
black/yellow-closed
green/red- closed (this one seems the be "live", has juice)
black + black/white= tied to close loop of the kill switch
black+white+brown/blue= my headlight and taillight tied together so that they turn on whenever key is turned on
yellow/red+dark blue =Starter relay. I attached these using a toggle switch which I located under the seat. Seems to be working well.
Royally confused,
Chris
