jjprit Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ok. So i have a 1987 yamaha virago xv1100. I bought it from a friend. It does not have a instrument panel becuase his ex wife put a hammer to it. All the wiring is fine i just dont have a Nuetral light, a oil light and a gas light. So here we go. I want to give myself a Gas light so i know when im low on gas instead of waiting for it to choke then switching it to researve. So i bought those Lights people use in sports cars as Clutch lights ect. There is a green wire and a black wire coming from my gas sensor under my gas tank. I took the green wire from the gas sensor and put it to the NEGITIVE to the light i installed I took the black wire from the gas sensor and grounded it to a common ground. I took the positive from the Light i installed and hooked it to a common positive of my lights. This way when i turn the bike on it gets power. The light wont turn off. Here is my wireing schimatics. Am i reading it Wrong? Did i do it right? anyone have any ideas According to the wiring it says. -Green to fuel warning light -Black to the common ground rear left turn signal -Positive from fuel warning light shared the positive to the oil warning light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjprit Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ok so i did some thinkg. I figured The light wont go off maybe becuase i have a BAD fuel sensor. Then said wait. Let me check something. I hooked my Electrical tester to the pisive side of the batter and negitive on the frame. Bam 12 volts so frame is ground. Put it on the gank. Nothing. Then i thought, Wait tank has paint so it wount work. So i put the negitive on my Gas tank CAP and BAM. volts.. That means my gank tank some how is grounded.
