LED Indicator not working =\
- Thread starter LuisN

Worked like a charm. i actually was using 330ohm resistors BUT had + and - on the wrong terminals!
using a LED flasher relay which works good, BUT noticed that my indicators stay on. which i dont really care.
now the only thing i need to do is figure out why the brown wire for the brake lic constant is not lighting up. i hacked up the wireharness so this could be why. i left everything alone except im not using the stock high beam/low, turn signals, no speedo or tach . i noticed theres a brown wire up front, but that says its for the speed/tach lights. and so is the brown/white wire.
is there something missing up front i should wire up so the constant brown wire in the back works?
also, can i use a on off switch to go for high beam low beam? if so how do i connect it?

I'm going to assume your on a Honda, but there may or may not be a brown wire up front (in the headlight bucket) depending on your year. Normally, this would go for a parking light and come from the ignition. I can't remember whether or not this is in series with the running light on the rear of the bike, but I'm going to guess and say it's not. Just trace the brown running light from the tail all the way to the ignition switch and that should be all you need to get it working.
Also... on/off switch for high beams is fine. In a standard harness just connect one of the switch poles to any black wire and the other to a blue wire. The blue wire does split (again, in a standard harness) to power both the high beam and the high beam indicator light and you'll want to be sure to connect your switch before the split so that you're switching both and not leaving one on all the time.

IF im reading the diag. correctly, which i have tried 100 times lol.
for.. low beam you need to make sure the following are connected
White Wire to headlight, brown white (constant) , Yellow, and White wire on harness which all are positive.
for high beam,
Blue wire going to headlight, brown white (constant), yellow and white wire on harness which are all positive.
correct?
this should fix my brake light issue, and also solve my question about high low.

I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but the brown wire should read +12V so long as the ignition switch is turned on. It shouldn't have anything to do with the high beam switch. Also, yellow and yellow/white are positive, but should read AC voltage when the bike is running. The purpose behind those two wires is that when you turn on the high beam, the alternator puts out more juice to compensate for the extra draw from the lighting. A common electrical modification is to splice the white wire coming from the stator into any single yellow wire coming from the stator. This sets your electrical system to its higher charging mode all of the time and allows you to remove a couple of extra wiring runs from the harness.
I would suggest sorting out all of your problems before making that change, though. Better to not introduce anything else into the mix until you have it all in good working order again.

well it looks like to me that the brown in the back will only get power (yes when igni is on) but when the actual wires in the front of the harness are connected. i looked at the high/low/off switch and the wires consisted of the ones i stated.
so for the lights to all work it needs to draw the power from there.
