CB400 ignition switch wiring question
« on: January 25, 2011, 10:25:07 AM »
I've been doing up a cb400f I picked up a few months ago and I'm having a small problem with the ignition switch wiring. The wires going to the ignition switch had been chopped off short so I soldered on new wires and got a new connector block and ignition switch.

My problem is I don't know which wire goes into which part of the connector block and i can't figure it out from the wiring diagram.
So if maybe somebody could take a pic of their block going on the igition switch or list the order they go I would
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
