No. I just have plain boring mirrors!

Nothing to feel bad about 99% of the scoots do NOT come with turn signals on the mirrors.

If the scooter starts when you press the brake handle then the brake switch is good, the brake lights and starter relay is on the same circuit which will be the yellow/green wire. If the brake switch was bad the scooter would not start.

You have a burned out bulb on the brake filament side or a bad wire connection on the brake lights in the tail section.

Checked the bulb and it is good. Although I tested the green wire and I am getting no voltage through it.

[jman24]

Even wen I hit the brake no voltage

[alleyoop]

The Green wire is GROUND therefore no voltage.

Jman the green wire is ground. The back bulb assembly has 3 wires;

Green = ground
yellow/green = brake light
brown = tail light.

Now the black wire feeds voltage to each brake handle. The yellow/green carries voltage all the way back to the brake light/s. And on the way it splits and also goes to the starter relay. That's why the scooter will NOT start without a brake handle pressed it's a safety feature.

So we know you are getting voltage at least to the starter relay through the yellow/green wire.

Now if the bulb/s are good then you are losing voltage from the starter relay area where the yellow/green wire splits or your losing ground through the green wire.

The same green wire also is used for the tail lights. Does your tail lights come on when you start the scooter? if so then you need to start tracing out the yellow/green wire. If not then I suspect the whole assembly in the back has come unplugged.

When you test the brake light circuit turn on the key, put a rubber band on one of the brake handles to keep it pulled and then use the volt meter set on Dc volts to check. Put one lead on the greeen = ground and the other on the yellow/green.

Thx. Sorry I am the biggest amatuer when it comes to electric stuff. The scoot does start with brake enabled. N yes the tail light does stay on. Also I only have 2 wires goin to my tail light. What does the starter relay look like n where mite it be located???

[JR]

It'll look like this;

Most of the time it's in the area above the fan shroud on the engine mounted to the frame. It is easy to trace and find. Just find the red big battery lead on the battery and trace it to this relay. It has two large nuts on it for the battery cable and the cable to the starter to bolt up to.

It will have a 2-wire small pigtail on it and one of those wires that plugs into this pigtail will be the yellow/green wire that also goes to your brake light bulb/s.

If you only have two wires to the tail light bulbs then they are either seperate bulbs with one filament and a tail light only bulb which I have never seen on a scooter or you have a wire pulled out of the socket which would be the reason the brake light/s don't work which would also be the yellow/green wire.

So I'm still trying to figure out this electrical stuff to find out why my brake light doesn't work. I open the scoot up and found this plug that wasn't plugged to nething. When I looked for the other end to connect it there was no
End to connect it !! I took a pic of it can neone tell me what this is?? Does it even connect to something?? Sorry again folks I am the biggest idiot with nething that deals with electric!

Alright help me out here. The plug system that is plugged together on the top female side it appears to be these colors;

black/white = kill switch wire
green = ground
red = 12VDc from battery
black = 12Vdc from key swith when in on position

Now the male that's plugged into it are they the same colors? I can't make them out in the picture.

Now the plug you can't find a mate to I can only see part of the wires and their color;

Black/white
red

What are the other colors?

JR

[jman24]

the one that is plugged 4 wires Green, pink, red n black
The unplugged one there are 7 wire Powder blue, Orange,black, black and white, red and yellow, green pink.

[JR]

All is OK the one that is unplugged is for a optional alarm system.
