  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Problems with TE 310 licence plate (electrical) LED

C Class
I want to use the original TE 310 licence plate holder kit racing (8000H0772). I connected the two white plugs but it doesn`t work. So i read the curciut diagram. The wiring colors from plug to tail light are different to the wires from plug to front of bike.
So i connected the LED light directly to battery.

Plate holder:

green = brake light
yellow = ground
red = back light

plug under seat:

Yellow/orange = brake light
brown = ground
blue (+) = back light

If i connect the plugs according to diagramm nothing flashes, but if i connect:

blue to yellow (+ to -)
brown to red (- to +)
green to yellow/orange

the lail light flashes and if i activate the brake the flash light goes out. So i guess there is a ground plroblem that i can`t find. I disconnected all accessible plug and cleaned them, but no change.

Are there any typical positions for ground problems at the husky?
 
First of all - I know nothing about these bikes.
However I do know a small amount about electrickery.

From your notes:
What happens if you connect
Yellow/Orange to Green
Brown to Yellow
Blue to Red

So they are the same connections from bike to lamp??

Ground in this context is a misnomer - as it is all plastic, there is no Ground as such.
Common, or more properly, Negative is the way to think about it.

Theory time:
LED aren't like normal bulbs as you know.
Apart from lots of light output, one thing to remember is that they only work one way round, i.e. the Positive (or feed, or live, if you prefer) HAS to be connected to the positive wire. Likewise the Negative (or Ground or Common). LED = Light Emitting Diode. Diode can be shown as a one-way valve for current. End of lesson.

If you have a voltmeter, fault finding should be pretty simple.

One must remember about relay's ( flasher's ) with LED . They do not produce the heat a bulb does so they require sensitive contact relay's ( light load ) so basically a bulb relay will not work with a LED light .

It is the original holder for this model therfore i assume there is no relay and the pre-resistor for LEDs are already installed.

What i don`t understand is that the brake light doesn`t work.

I do have a multimeter and i know also a little bit about electricity, i guess.

I measured the front brake switch -> resistance o.k.
On plug under seat: hopping from kOhm to MOhm

Therfore i suppose a "kontakta wackta (swedish for defective contact)" somewhere.

I have pictures at another pc, i will upload them in the evening, probably then my question is clear.

Thanks a lot!

FYI

It works know! It was a bad contact behind the light cover (light plug was corroded)

gotta love those Italians for mixing up the colors... :rolleyes:

glad you got it figured out. :thumbsup:
 
oh yes the Italians and wires....:rolleyes:

BTW: Husqvarna belongs to BMW (German), i guess, whats about German closeness?;)
