So today I made the rookie error of taking apart some wiring without first looking at what was plugged into what. Stupid of me, I know. My rear left indicator was cracked so I bought a replacement pair and set about attaching them, the new pair only had a single black wire coming from each and the old pair had a black wire and an earth wire.
After reattaching and doing my best to attach the correct wires the best result I've been able to achieve is:
- Indicators working
- Brake light working
- Headlight flasher button on handlebar working
- Bike not blowing fuses
- Bike runs
This still leaves:
- Headlight not working
- Taillight not working
The key is turned to the far right position where the headlight and taillight usually come on, but no dice sadly. When I first put the key in and turned on the ignition it was blowing fuses, I realised I had an earth wire plugged into a blue wire and resolved it.
I've attached an image of the wiring in its current state, the bike is a rolling project so it isn't particularly clean or show worthy! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
