So today I pulled the left bar controls out of the bars since they weren 't new, as luck would have it ,I had a new one hanging on a nail in the barn. looked the same from the outside should do the same thing as the old one. It had a bunch of extra wires in the unit. the original had 7 , had a used one with 10 but the new one had 11 and have of them were unitized for plug and play, more like the later models....WTF. Went with the second choice , the used one with only 10 wires in it and 2 on the lever. It was alot thicker than the original one ,stuffed it in the hole with 1 extra wire and tape...got it half ways there before the tape let loose from the WD that I sprayed inside the bars for lube. I usually use nylon line but it was on the jobsite. I used some stiff wire with no jacket the next time and just wrapped it in a choker spiral ...not easy, not fast but got the job done.
Unplugged everything in the light bucket for the 3rd time , just in case I may have screwed up the 1st two times. Everything went together alright til near the end but there was no brown/red wire male for the female with a yellow jacket , this time but there was a male brown blue with small yellow jacket, a female brown blue with no yellow jacket , a black w yellow stripe male, a 4 pack of female black , and the jumper wire that I pulled out of the trash.
What to do? Right? Ended up plugging the m and f brown and blue together, the jumper from the 4 way black female to the brown and red which lit up the second circut like I wanted . The extra black and yellow wire lit the headlight which was great , now I know that works....but the on off light switch on the other bar was set in off position...sounds like I fed it power through the back door.... ran outta time to play.....unplugged that black and yellow wire from the black 4 pack, forgot to test the light in the ON position. Unplugged the battery so I don't burn the place down and left for dinner. I'm closer today than yesterday, maybe get it right tomorrow.
