08 Moto Fashion.. no blinkers, horn, headlights  By  justguy1 (Read 10,592 times)

OK justguy1 thanks a lot for the video, it really helped me understand more clearly what is happening to your scooter. Now I'm like you I hate stripping a scooter but in this case we have got to get to the electrical up front. We for sure have something fused/melted/arced/etc. together. I've got a idea but at this point even if I'm right you still got to open her up.

Now I only got a slight glimpse of the headlight in your video but it appeared as a small bulb and not the main headlight bulb? A lot of scooters have what is called side running lights by the main headlight bulbs and a lot of times they are wired separately from the head light bulbs.

If you've never stripped her I would advise taking pictures as you go and putting nuts, bolts, etc. in containers and labeling them, helps when it goes back together.

Now you've got her back to original and the disconnect switch is no issue so let's move on and I'll promise you one thing I'll not give up so don't you, if need be we'll get on the phone and work this out.

Take your time as you take it apart and pay close attention to the harness and look for any sign of damage or where it may have got hot.

When you get her stripped holler back.

This would be a correct test. The R and R/W are hot and if you pull the fuse the R/W will be dead too.

The G/W is a ground wire from the side stand switch and is grounded only when the scooter is on the stand.

The R/Y is hot only when you press the brake pedal and/or brake handle, the same wire that goes to your brake lights.

This tells us that the solenoid and the wires to it are all OK.

Through all of this we have made some progress, just like I mentioned above the solenoid and it's wires are all ok. We also now know even with bypassing the key switch which is what we did by using the jumper wires that the key switch is more than likely good, same results as the jumpers.

Also by learning that the tail lights work it sends us in the direction of the front part of the harness and gives us a starting point.

But now we've got to open her up to start finding this problem.

[replyingto=jr]JR[/replyingto]OK almost gave up. I can't get my side panel off so this picture will have to do.

Not sure if you read my other reply... that wire isn't burnt.. must of been the way the picture was taken..( dont have a flash with my tablet).

But did find something out tonight... I went to check the fuses and swapped them out just in case.. But nothing changed.... Now here is the kicker.... I take the 10 amp fuse that says head out.. The blinkers kinda work.. the lights go on.. but real faint noise.. the dash comes on.. NO HORN still.. If I press the start button. depending on what blinker is on... when you press the start button. the OPPOSITE blinker lights up.. ie left blinker on.. push start right blinker lights up.. If I put the Head one back in and take the other 10 amp out that is for the blinkers, horn, tail lights and high beam.. then the Head light goes on... but still nothing else works... So not sure where we go from here...

One is the radio.. the other is the ignition plug..

I will try to trace the wires.. guess it means taking more things off.. hope this works..

Do you know what wire is the ground wire for the blinkers, horn etc...

12 pages between this site and another one. And to answer your question NO... The scooter runs just some of the electrical stuff is out. And at this point the writing is on the wall. Yeah might cost me a lot of money but this has cost me two months of frustration and aggravation.

Another question for you is the black blue wire supposed to have power when the key is off. When I did a voltage test with the key off the red wire had 12 volts the black wire had zero with a negative the green had zero with a negative the black white wire type 0 with a negative but the blue black wire had 00.1 this was at the ignition plug. also question for you at the fuse box is the headlight power on without the key because the fuse lit up with the tester.
