John have watched the 30minute video already trying to fix it. Nothing happens when the ignition switch is tuned, no lights. The fuse is fine and checked out with the multimeter. I have checked both wires going to the negative battery terminal and they both ground out. |

I misunderstood the part where he said "I turn the key and nothing happens.". I thought he meant just the starter not turning. Sometimes I miss important details like that.  |

When you turn it on, you should get voltage on your meter from ground to a hot wire. If you were getting voltage then at least some things should work, like your horn or lights unless everything on the scooter is broken. One of these electrical gurus will have to help you on this. I'm electrically illiterate for the most part. |

Does anyone know how to make sure the key switch is hooked up correctly. It is a three prong switch. I know the blue is accessory and the green and green and yellow is positive and negative. |

Got a surprising 5.6. Not sure if that is good, I was told it received a straight 12v. |

Got a surprising 5.6. Not sure if that is good, I was told it received a straight 12v. A 5.6v would suggest you have a bad wire somewhere. Even 10v is too low. You should be getting pretty much what the battery is putting out. If the battery is putting out 14.5v that is probably what you should be reading at the wires. You may have some wires crossed or a ground wire or other wire that is corroded inside. |

Can't quite make sense of where the negative wire comes from? |

So you think I should rewire the positive and negative wires. Can't quite make sense of where the negative wire comes from? You'll probably have to use a continuity tester to find out which wire is which and where they go. I'd start by testing the voltage from the positive on the battery to the frame in a few spots. If that voltage is low then put a new ground wire on from the battery to the frame. If it does work then check the ground wire at the ignition, to the positive on the battery for voltage and see if that wire is good. You might unhook the blue wire while you test the other wire. I don't know what the two hot wires do but to keep things simple maybe you should test the thing with only one wire hooked to the ignition to rule out a short in the other wire. Heck, unhook both hot wires while you test the ground, and take off the positive battery cable. You want to know it the battery, which I'm assuming you are getting a 12-14v reading on, can deliver that voltage from the positive battery terminal to your frame and ground wires. |

your ignition switch only has 3 wires? can we see some pictures of what your talking about?
