Default Re: No Speedo, No Lights, No Rev Counter, No Dash.

This is doing my head in as well, thats three 15A fuses gone now. Every time i think it is ok it goes again, but frustratingly, not straight away. It lasted for three days last time. Is there one problem causing this? Please dont tell me i have to try and check every wire and every connection!?

I'm afraid that's the conclusion I'm looking at!

Well, I took all the plastics off it last night and I've had a (crude) look at all the electrical connectors - I can't see anything wrong, certainly the bit that had worst corrosion was the starter relay, which I cleaned up before the last fuse pop.

Tomorrow's mission is to check the wires for any chaffing etc, after that I'm stumped!

Wee update on this:

The bike's now been stripped of it's fairings, clocks, fuel tank, air box, tail light. There were a couple of grubby looking connectors (which I've since cleaned up) but the only bit that I've come across yet that I would consider as being properly corroded was the starter relay, which made no difference when I swapped it with another one from KT's bike.

So - I've checked all the wires for any nicks/worn down bits etc, and can't find anything wrong. At one point we found that using the rear brake was popping the fuse instantly, every time for about 4-5 fuses, then it stopped doing it!! AAAAARRRGGGHH!!!!

So, it's now had a new Brake Switch (cheers Adam!) AND we've fitted a new (2nd hand) wiring loom - there's a couple of different connectors that need soldering on, but that's almost done.

Planning to get the clocks & tail light back on tonight, then finish the final connectors and start tidying up the wiring as best I can. Then cross everything I've got that's crossable that the problem has gone away!!!

That's the problem with wiring looms. When they break down you can't find the problems unless they're on the connectors themselves.
