Topic: Nuetral Light Wire

[66shorty]

Well, I'm rewiring right now and I've com to a bit of a hurdle.  In the handful of wires that are coming out of the engine, the one I'm confused about is the neutral light wire; it's the LG/R (light green/red).  How do I terminate that wire?  Do I just leave it alone in the plug, do I loop it to itself, loop it to ground, loop it to another wire?  I dunno... but I figure it never hurts to ask.

I just took mine off, are you wanting to use it?

The neutral light is constantly fed power and activated by completing the ground side of the circuit.

So, if you want the neutral light to function, connect it to the neutral switch on the engine. If you don't want the neutral light, leave the wire unconnected and the exposed end covered. If the wire touches the frame anywhere, it will complete the ground and the light will come on.

Hope this helps.

If you're really ambitious, or anal-retentive like me, you should be able to fish the neutral lead out of the engine and disconnect it at the bullet connector where it joins the main harness.  That way, fewer dangling thingies.

Hay are you doing this on the chopper?

Is is is a stock wiring harness?

[Gregorymoto]

hear is my suggestion, keep the stock wiring harness and build a new one, it is easy and will only take 4 hrs if you don't know what you are doing and 2 hrs if you do.

If you need a copy of a strip down wiring diagram let me know.

One other question, why should I keep the stock one?

1. As a reference while building the new one.

2. As a backup in case the new one fails.
