Switch wiring

<< < (5/5)

Laverda Dave:
Thanks for your help Bryan.
I checked the continuity right through the cable (green / red) and it was spot on. The switch itself was ok and I was getting 6.3v on the feed. I was scratching my head for ages. I worked yesterday morning but then didn't. I eventually ran a cable from an engine bolt straight to the battery earth and it worked! Really odd considering I checked the frame earths and they were fine. I've now run an earth cable from the top engine bolt to the main battery earth cable.
I'm going to start the bike tomorrow and check the lighting is working with the engine running. That's the last thing to check now, everything else (apart from the horn that I'm pretty sure is defunct because I have 6.3v feed and the earth is good after testing.
I'll let you know how I get on and report back.
Thanks for all your help with this.
Cheers
Dave

Bryanj:
No problem Dave, if you painted the engine brackets that would give the earth problem, from the factory the brackets had no paint where they touched the engine and where cable touched
