What might these wires be? By debbieb (Read 515 times)

Jonway 2008 150cc - behind the front shield where all the headlight wiring is there is a black wire with a female bullet terminal end and a green wire with a male bullet terminal which are not connected to anything.  Also there is a flat terminal with a green and black wire.  We've been having some trouble starting the scooter (see new post) all of a sudden when it had been running perfectly, so we thought maybe these came disconnected.  I tried connecting the black and green wire and I think that may have caused the fuse at the battery to blow (or it was a coincidence).  Any ideas what these are and could they really have been just laying there disconnected and not causing any issues?

it could be something that is used on another style scooter . Is everything working on your scooter . The harnesses are used on several different styles could be a different light or on the mirrors ect......

Both sets of wires are as follows:

2-wire plug

black = 12Vdc with key on

green = ground

single bullet connector wires

black = 12Vdc with key on

green = ground

Now first of all the 2-wire plug which appears to be male is more than likely what we call an accessory plug which nearly all scooter have. It could be used to say hook up a radio or cig lighter socket. It's generally standard in all harnesses but most of the time it's a female plug. To test just get volt meter and turn the key on and you should get 12Vdc+ while using the volt meter to both the black and green.

Now the single bullet connectors are the same thing black = 12Vdc with key on green = ground, that's why when you plugged them together you blew a fuse, you shorted out the system.

More than likely the black female plugs into something that works, like a brake light, horn, turn signal? Again to test voltage turn the key on and check with meter.
