I'm installing the lynx fairing and got the harness plugged in for testing. I turn the key to on, the instruments all light as normal for the self check. I get low headlight beam...but that's it No turn signals, or flashers indicated on the panel either No high beam flasher No high beam indicator No high beam light No horn The only thing not connected is the plug on the gas tank for the fuel pump. IOW the tank is still off. Is this an open circuit for the above issues? Or do I have something else screwy? The starter will actually turn the motor too right now.
Not silly enough for me ;-) You sure the motor has to be running for them all to work? I wasn't sure...so this is likely my answer. ...thanks btw I get a bit strung out tearing apart something that is working perfectly well :-)
Using the supplied relays with the Lynx, both lights are now wired from the battery directly, the low beam relay is powered by the "city light" aka "parking light" which also powers the tail light filament. So that tells you your ignition switch is (at least partially) working, and your tail light should be on. Ensure you are not turning your key past the run position in the middle. The 3rd position (clockwise) is "Park" and only lights the low beam and tail light. This is my first guess for your symptoms. Also the speedo will be off in Park position, but on in Run position. The high beam comes on by energizing the high beam relay when you hit the high beam or passing light switch on the left control. The turn signal are on the left control also. These require power get to the left control from the ignition switch. Note that the low beam power from the control switch to the headlight is now unused (following the Lynx wiring directions). Assuming the key is in the middle position ("Run") I would double check your left control harness plug is fully seated, as well as the ignition switch connector. On an '06-'07, and I suspect the same on '08-'09, the engine deos not have to be running for all this to work if your battery is good. Turn the key to run, but not past run to park, or else only the low beam and taillight will come on. - Mike
Aha. I may be turned to park as the ignition is just hanging loose. Thanks for the detail. Will get back to this tomorrow as I have Field Day today. kc2rgw
