Hi. 2016 Mk11 sport. looking for some help. In my headlamp bucket I have a loose yellow and black wire. Its a male single pole connector with nowhere to go. Should this be roaming around without a mate??
Funny you should mention that. Since I changed my headlight bucket, my fuel light has not flickered. I flickered randomly but rarely until my accident. Then it started to flicker wildly after I got the new tank but only first 1/4 tank. Changed the bucket and it doesn't flicker at all. Wondering if I accidentally disconnected it. Thought maybe just shifting the wires around may have stopped the voltage interference. I have the patch kit but did not install it yet.Ok got the year . NOT Euro 4 .. Now are you sure it is YB ? That is mostly yellow with a black stripe ? Or is it BY , mostly black with a yellow stripe ? BY black/yellow on post 2013 is low fuel light going to speedo cluster. YB yellow/black is not used until Euro4 again and that is called speedo , speed sensor input to speedo cluster . On POST DEC 2013 the speedo sensor input to the cluster is red screened cable. ON PRE DEC 2013 the YB yellow/black un-screened wire was the speedo sensor input .. So maybe NOT USED on your bike ?
Thank you for that Regental, that is exactly what I found. It wasn't insulated and touching the metal of the headlamp bucket. I was searching for a battery drain. I don't think this was the cause but I have now insulated it just in case. I also removed the link wire that kept the headlamp on whilst the handlebar switch was in the off position. This does mean that I will have to remember to switch on lights but I no longer have the low voltage warning show up when I initially turn on the ignition. Time will tell.
