I have a little problem

oldbikers · 01-23-2009, 09:51 PM

after installing my cruise control and rewiring my bike for trailer lights I don't have any brake lights I thought maybe it was the purple wire grounded so I removed it but still no brake lights so I removed the blue wire for brake lights on the trailer still no brake so in the battery area there is a plug for all your rear lights so I unplugged it on the hot side I have brakes lights but when I plug it back in no brake lights ??? ??? ??? ???

Did a wire get pinched when you wired for the trailer, or possibly the bulb blew out

Do the taillight and rear turn signals work? Have you checked the brake lamp itself?

Yes CJ I have when I check the plug with a probe it works as long as it is unpluged but when I plug it up I get no power I think it must be like nightmare said except I have not done anything on that side of the plug will check some more later today.

Thanks guys I had 2 wires get hot inside the harness and ground to each other I guess it happened while I was soldering the wires

Glad you got it going Jim, did you get the trunk lights figured out?
