    Lost all electrics after brakelight install??? HELP.

    by sigibbons » Mon Apr 09, 2007 9:02 am

    Today i have installed the DRC brakelight and a hydraulic switch and done the wiring according to this explanation.

    "DRC LED Light:

    First the hydraulic brake switch works by completing a circuit to add more juice to the tail light so that it gets brighter.

    1. Black wire(power) from the bike to yellow wire from DRC and one lead of the hydraulic switch.

    The above connections are to give the tail light power and to provide power for the brake light that will work when the circuit is completed by depressing the rear brake.

    2. The red wire from the DRC to the other lead from the brake switch.

    3. The green wire from the bike to the black wire from the DRC. This will ground everything. "



    I had it all temporarily connected up and had the bike running fine, all was working good. Then went to tidy the wires up and connect properly and none of the electrics work not even my trailtech which is connected permanently through the electric starter will work.
    The bike will kick start but not start on the button.
    I have changed the 15a fuse under the right hand side panel and i also connected up an old car 12v bulb to the battery to see if it was ok and that lit up fine. The wiring alterations i did for the brake light have been removed now.

    I just cant work out whats happened???
    Can anyone help me? Is there more than one fuse?
