[QUOTE="ontario, post: 91122, member: 3431"] [b]EMERGENCY did I damage any components?[/b] [SIZE="5"] [SIZE="7"]EMERGENCY!!![/SIZE] Ok so I connect it to my actual 12v bike battery (seeing that this is a 12v flasher): 1. Red to black (in the diagram), black to green earth in the diagram 2. Switched on the night switch, meter light works fine. Switch off night switch and meter light goes oout (as planned). Switch on = meter light goes on. a. Put turn signal left → signal bulb doesn’t come on but meter light blinks slightly. b. Then I go disconnect the ground from the blue and orange front signal lights [SIZE="5"][SIZE="5"]The red from the positive battery terminal starts smoking!! All the insulation melts off, I panic and cut the red wire from[/SIZE][/SIZE] the battery. What the flip did I just do? Did just happened? Man this project gets worse and worse lol....I hope I didn’t break any of the components (thats why I wanted to use just 9v to test it out: you know just to get bulbs to light up and flash etc) Ok and there is continuity from brown → green/earth. Oh please take a look at the new wiring diagram: I updated it to reflect the current state of the wiring: • Look at the green squiggly lines in the top left: basically one wire from the switch goes to earth, and the brown wire goes tothe green wire (not earth) from the meter bulb • See the black arrow? Im thinking of just having 12V dc black go feed the brown wire from the night switch then little yellow out the night switch to earth o Then I will have the meter bulb “across†these, if that makes sense, so the meter bulb will be a separate circuit fed by 12v dc, a night switch and a meter bulb. Remember I just want to control when the meter bulb goes on (at night :15: ) Also notice that yellow doesn’t go to night switch at all→ but goes straight to headlight. (ie permanent choppy dc from the rectifier to headlight) more questions: 1. How much volts to get the flasher relay working? (does it have to be 12?) 2. how can I check I never damaged any components? Sorry for the long novel, but I gotta get my damned bike fixed ;) [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
