capped connector, under tank: bl/ws, ge/vi, br
« on: April 27, 2025, 02:15:53 AM »
1985 K100RT, modded by a previous owner.
Would you please help me identify the capped off connector, under the fuel tank (attached picture). It's got White/Blue, Yellow/Violet, and Brown. A previous owner disconnected whatever used to connect in to that.
Next to it, the bypassed clutch switch is marked.
The brown, ground collection point under the tank, is mounted just a couple of inches back from this three pin connector.

For context, I've also found a speed control wire that had been spliced which I've repaired for the electric TurboPac by TurboDyne electric driven, intake boost pressure "blower/compresser". Perhaps that's a clue as to what this connector may have been associated with?

Hazard lights dash switch. The reason that it has three wires is because the early Ks has a tiny light bulb in the switch that would flash with the hazard lights. That's what the BLU/WHT wire does. To turn on the hazards the switch grounds the YEL/VIO wire to BRN.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.
