A wiring Question: By richardthescooter3 (Read 391 times)

Hey Guys, Does anyone know where this wire goes, it coming out of the same area with the black wire, but where does it go? Trying to find out why I don't have low beams, bulbs look goods, but I'm going to put a different bulb in to make sure.

Don't know the answer, but not entirely sure what wire you mean. What scoot? And since I'm colorblind, what color(s) is the wire you mean?

Hi ellpee, it is the first wire, (starting from the left) it comes out of the same rubber sleeve as the next wire. This is the MC-54-250B Roketa Scooter. having issues with my left switch assembly, turning light work, horn works, high beam work, but not low beam.

Hard to see but it looks like where the TWO wires are plugged the one on the left from the bottom is not plugged in and the connectors match MALE PUSH and FEMALE OPEN.

Hi Alleyoop, I'll will check that out (didn't notice that, thanks) I just notice that wire on left looks like the end was broke off, but I don't see where it goes and I also took off that left switch, trying to figure out what the switch hit when on low beam

[alleyoop]

I think that wire that you say is broke off goes IN BETWEEN the two other wires with the BLUE in that one CONNECTOR.

Oh, got it, just a senior citizen moment

Looks like that is green/white. If, by some miracle, the Chinese stuck to the color code, that could be the kill wire feeding either the kill switch or the alarm/remote starter.

[ellpee]

Whoa, not just a senior moment for me, a colorblind senior moment. Are you saying what this picture shows, namely B goes between A and C and D1 plugs into D2? You guys may already have figured this one out, but for my own education ....

That is what I think ellpee.

Well my kill switch works, don't know about the remote starter alarm, never used it anymore, hopefully it fixes my left switch assembly so my low beams work, if not we will go from here

Ok guys check out the wiring situation, it is one of those connectors like a field goal post, (I not sure what there called) one wire coming in bottom and two wires going into it, so its good. Got to do some more looking.

Richard sorry I didn't see this and I have the windshield off my 250B and just put on a new horn, old one the mount bracket broke.

Is that wire green/yellow? If so then it goes in to a 2 to 1 connector and the filed goal post you're talking about is a "bullet" connector, that is what they are called. It is off of one of your brake light switch/handles.

The brakes work like this:

With key on black = 12Vdc to each brake switch and they connect via a 2 to 1 bullet connector
With key on and brake handle pressed 12Vdc goes out of switch via green/yellow again to a 2 to 1 bullet connector.

If it is green/yellow turn your key on and see if the brake light will work and the scooter will start with either brake handle pressed, if not then fine the 2 to 1 bullet connector and you'll fine the broke off post in the connector that goes to this wire. They sell these at the auto parts store and you need the size that has a "red" plastic sleeve on it.

If that wire is blue/white then it plugs into a single larger white wire.

Thanks JR, my main problem is the low beam on light switch don't work, today I finally figured out how to take it apart and discover that the white wire isn't making contact, now how to fix it?
