Deciphering K8 left control wiring
« on: September 25, 2013, 07:47:19 AM »
Looked at two wiring diagrams but they didn't make much sense to me. Seems to not show all the wires, also just stepped on and broke my multimeter lol. This is what I've got so far from opening up the case and chasing the wires.

Green-horn

Orange-left signal
Baby blue-right signal
Orange/white and baby blue/white- front signal running lights, no longer used with my two wire LEDs.

Blue/white-high and low beam
Brown/red- headlight +12v

Grey- ? From diagram looks like it runs to signal relay

Brown/blue- looks like turn signal buzzer
Brown/white-? in the switch this illuminate the corresponding signal when turn signal switch is depressed all the way left or right. Don't really know the function of this.


I'm trying out these left controls since mine k8 controls are on the fritz

After typing this all out its starting to make more sense now. Grey load wire off relay must be my +12v signal input. Been using this diagram, must be missing some wires since its a simplified version?

The orange and light blue wires with white stripes are the wires to the signals, the white wire notes an on and off function.

Horn has never worked. Should the green wire have +12v?
