Posted May 13, 201410 yr Hi guys, So, I was riding along today when all lights (dash too) just stopped working, I thought it was the fuse, changed it no good, so started checking the wiring, I've got power into and out of the ignition but was struggling to trace the wires from there. I'm really stuck tbh, any help would be much appreciated
May 13, 201410 yr Moderator power into the ignition? you talking about the keyswitch here, might help to be more specific so without looking at a diag, out the battery + through fuse in red wire to keyswitch, out the keyswitch into brown wire that will feed several things when the key is turned. Dont forget your battery - connection, needs to be clean intact and a good connection to whatever frame connections there are
May 13, 201410 yr Author Haha sorry, yes the key switch, battery terminals and connections are clean as a whistle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 13, 201410 yr Author I just haven't got a clue what other than the fuse would kill all electrics, and I forgot to add before I've got an alarm fitted which is still fully functional (arms,disarms,flashes indicators etc) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 13, 201410 yr Moderator you said you've got power into and out of the keyswitch, how did you test this and what wires?
May 13, 201410 yr Author I just used a multimeter first on the permanent live (thick red wire) then on the switched live (thick brown wire) and switched key on and off to check it was functioning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 13, 201410 yr Moderator place the - probe on the battery - teminal, check the brown from the ignition switch repeat with the - pobe on a clean engine cover screw
May 13, 201410 yr Author Sorry just realised you said the negative probe lol I didn't even see the - first time I had it in the hole where the tank bolt is by the top of the air box (good earth) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 13, 201410 yr Moderator so you saw 12v with the - probe on the tank bolt and the + probe on brown from the keyswitch?
May 13, 201410 yr Author It actually came up with 19v but it said the same for the battery voltage too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 13, 201410 yr Moderator WTF 19v, was the engine running then...why do I have to root information out of you yamman!? so the engine was running, charging at 19v?
May 13, 201410 yr Author Sorry, I'll try to explain from the start in more depth I was riding for a while all lights and instruments working fine then came to a turn clicked the indicator on made the turn then glanced the dash as I turned the indicator off realised the indicator light wasn't flashing so clicked on and off a few times and realised I had no indicators and no indicator light either then came to lights knocked it into neutral no neutral light it then became clear everything was dead (except the engine) so I pulled over switched the engine off and tryed to check fuse but couldn't get to it so decided to ride the last couple of miles home without lights then found the starter was dead too so I bumped it got home checked the fuse it was blown so I changed it no joy checked battery terminals and connections perfect then checked the keyswitch as I've said and didn't know where to go next Sorry if that's hard to understand English was never my strong point at school lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
