[QUOTE="Enginedoctor, post: 169559, member: 8346"] #1) do you have a battery installed in the bike? With your test light, hook the clamp to a good ground, or the battery negative. Make sure the light comes on touching to the positive terminal (or in reality, lead) before proceeding. With the headlight out, probe the metal of the connectors, with the key on. The red one with multiple sockets for plugs to go in should be hot with the key on. This should go out to the brake switch, to the handlebar switches, etc, and to the horn. I'm not sure if the horn is the same on this, but the switch cuts the ground to a constant positive horn. So the horn should be "hot" or have power on both sides when the key is on. When the button is depressed, it should be ground one side hot on the other, thus putting the light out, or at least dim, on the ground side, but still staying lit on the power side. I hope this helps at least a little, but in reality, this is one for you to figure out. I, sure someone has made a YouTube video on it. And like scooter says before me, the wiring diagram is a big help. [/QUOTE]
