Topic: Rear Light on in park.

[Tdubsy]

Hey Everyone,

I swapped out my wiring harness today for a new one from vintagecb750.com

While doing this I noticed that there was an additional wire running from the rear brown connector all the way up to the headlight and plugged into the black that would normally power the signal buzzer (its been unplugged) I assumed the original unused brown wire must have had a broken connection. Probably done by the PO


I plugged in the new harness and the rear light into the brown as it should.


But what I noticed:

When Key is in park  - Rear light on gets brighter when brake on
When Key is in on - Light is off but brake light activates

I re did what the PO had set up and sure enough everything worked properly.

I also tried swapping some of the brake light wires around and just got reverse variations of High/low and on off.



Any Ideas on what is happening?  The existing solution works but I would like to get this set up how it should be. 


Doing a crash course on the wiring diagrams and how everything functions currently. (honestly makes my eyes glaze over a bit)


You can also see an aftermarket tail light was added by the PO


Thanks!

Park is to allow the rear light to be on. It's a safety thing. With that being said you did not mention which bike you have.

The brown wire in the headlight is for the little pilot light models had for export to other markets like Europe. US models lack this bulb, so that's why you will not find it connected. Brown/blue is the wire for the turn signal buzzer, but you will usually find it disconnected as most owners got irritated by the sound. Always consult the wiring diagram for your specific model.
