after my other post regarding the led rear light I want to fit, I succumed and changed back to negative earth instead of positive.
a lesson to one and all to check things as you go when re wiring.
im not using a preformed loom but a custom (by me) one as would not use all the fancy connectors and items found on a purchased loom.
SO, wired up electronic ignition and generator to the Japanese style reg rec , nice soldered wires and crimped and soldered connectors with heatshrink support. all looked good, then I changed the earth as above.
electronic igniition only two wires to swap, but led rear light not working on light or brake. head scratch, checked my loom connections , all checked out ok?? checked the fuse, in one piece. rechecked the wire and connectors, all seems ok.
tried another fuse , turned on and still not working?? more head scratching. These fuses look ok. after 4 fuses, I checked them before fitting ok, after fitting no good. tried a spade fuse assembly, blew straight away.
that was it, was going to ask here whats up? then, I thought, pull all the wiring and recheck..
modern reg rec has 5 wires , red, black and 3 white. I was using red, black and 2 white, no problems.
then it came to me, changed the earths, so, reversed red and black as one goes to earth...
hey presto, rear light works and no blown fuses!!
just waiting for the headlamp and brackets now to wire up the front end..
