• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

TE 630 wiring harness mess

Keep us posted. Some of us (myself included) have had rub-through of the harness/shorting under the battery tray on the way to the voltage regulator. Not uncommon- in that and other places. My short caused a melt close to the plug to the VR...tight up against the plug, hence not the greatest splice/repair. It's been working fine for a year. Given that if it fails (there or elsewhere difficult) I bought a used 630 harness as a back up. If you would let us know the cost...I'd be curious. Hope yours is up and running soon.
 
I tugged, pulled and re-zip tied most of my harness early on when I installed my JD tuner, because I could see where it would rub on the insulation and didn't want it wearing through...
 
I had issues with the connector on the TPS getting wet and shorting out while throwing codes with the throttle body..
Sorry I don't have exact codes since I cleared my ibeat history but I thought they were air intake tract pressure and something to
do with the TPS..


I unplugged the connector and ran a hair dryer on it for 15 minutes attempting to dry it out. This solved my problems and I applied
dialectic grease to the outside body of the connector before plugging it back together in an attempt to eliminate water intrusion
from entering.

I now cover the entire TPS and the TPS connector with plastic anytime I wash the bike.

I believe the TPS connector can be salvaged from the older TE450/510 bikes if this is your problem and it has corroded or permanently shorting out. I was near purchasing one off ebay until I was able to solve the problem with a hair dryer.

This is correct,that was optioned when i had issues by dealer.Also a 610 loom can be used it just needs re pinning at ecu end.
 
Knowing the error codes can really help decipher the issue location.

Did you pressure wash or run the bike through deep water before the problem surfaced?

If so, try a hair dry on the unplugged TPS connector (bottom half) for 15 minutes at a distance of 6".
 
Does anyone make aftermarket wiring looms for the Italian Husky's? One thing I've noticed when working on mine is the wire they used is very fine gauge.
