Aparrently the rew wire to the long dead ammeter shorted to the windshield wiper arm and melted a lot of stuff. I have pretty much cleaned up all the wiring replacing the extra crispy one. In the ordeal I pulled the ignition switch, now I can't figure out how it wires back up. It does NOT match the terminal lay out in the factory wiring diagram. I have 7 terminals, a "BAT", 2 "IGN", 2 "ACC", 1 "ST", and a blank. I have 1 black wire to the starter, 1 red wire to the light switch/regulator?, 1 pair of green wires to the coil and starter (on the same terminal), 1 pink wire to the turn signals, 1 brown wire (forgot where it goes) Any ways, any one can tell me what goes where? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | here are two from aprevious post that might help click here click here are you going to the small town event/cruise/show that is being held in El-reno this coming week-end.. we will be going.

I think I got that right!  Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 173 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 173 | Mine didn't look like either one of those.
I'll post a pic in a few minutes maybe tomorrow, maybe.
I was just about to check the events forum.
