arcticflipper Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Sound s like you might have either a faulty fuse / fusebox or check the wiring , you can get a diagram from me, Will put the entire workshop manual for 99 - 2002 on the internet, Please note it is 145 MB in size..... You can download it, pls let me know if you are looking for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rockmeupto125 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I'd pay some close attention to your frame grounds....remove, wirebrush, and replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfuctx Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Also try running bike with seat off and tapping every electronic thing you can always works for bad relays and connections. If non of these suggestions help remember, many electrical problems were solved at the bottom of quaries. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxus Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 OKAY, i have been doing some searching for loose wires blown bulbs and fuses, all good but when i take the fuse out for the highbeams, the low beam comes on and stays,so i rode the bird to the local advance auto to have the battery tested, the battery was bad, so i replaced it, but on my way there when i would pull the front brake lever or pushed the foot brake the the FI light comes on AHHHH, also with the turn signal fuse out i would turn the left blinker on but the right would blink and vice versa Dammm, what now? any help?

Guest rockmeupto125 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 But what happened AFTER you replaced it with a fully charged, functioning battery and cleaned the frame grounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxus Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 But what happened AFTER you replaced it with a fully charged, functioning battery and cleaned the frame grounds? Well i cleaned all the fuses and the only ground wire i saw beside the rear of the fuel tank before i replaced the battery, the lights still didnt come on after the battery was replaced until i took the high beam fuse out. Are there others grounds i missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Semi-related, make sure taht you fully charge teh battery. Most wrongfully assume that the batery completely charges on the bike, this is NOT correct. Use a battery tender or equivelant to fully charge it otherwise it'll be deficient for life as the bike's electrical system will not maximize the capacity. As for the problem you're having regarding the voltage, sounds like a ground problem and they are a bitch to diagnos... sorry can't help you much there. Good luck.

lexxus Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Okay i am going to take the battery to get a full charge. since the brake lever and foot brake now make the FI light come on, im wondering if bad switches could cause this aswell as a not fully charged battery?

Pete in PA Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Where specifically in the loom is the problem? Also why all the corrosion? Where do you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxus Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Where specifically in the loom is the problem?a brown in color case atlease on my bird thats the color,located at the left side of the frame just below the positive battery cable, that house's about 20 wires or so that are connected by a metal insert into one full row of wires then three split rows of the metal inserts, they get moister in there somehow building up corrosion on the metal inserts causing malfuctions all over the birds electrical system incluing the ecm Also why all the corrosion? Where do you live? maryland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
