Cant identify all wires for k100 controls, m-unit install
« on: July 06, 2021, 09:50:20 PM »
Good afternoon! First post here!  :mb:
I'm installing a munit with the oem switches, there seem to be more wires than there are buttons. Are any wires going to be omitted? Has anyone used the munit  with break out box and oem switches?
Ive looked at the wiring diagram and some of the switches like the kill switch and light position switch have multiple positions and multiple wires coming out from them. The wiring diagram doesnt make much sense to a noob like me, I cant specificslly identify where they go.
Ive cut the connectors and plan to use DT connectors.

Might be a more legible wiring diagram?

You're in deep water, Kailongride. A noob like you shouldn't have cut off the connectors without having a reconnection plan. That does make learning more urgent so you should launch yourself into crash course in understanding wiring diagrams and how motorcycle electrical systems work. The diagram example PMP linked you to is as clear as they come for noobs.

It's great you're living in the Internet/YouTube world now instead of the library reference book era that some of us learned in, isn't it?  :laughing4-giggles:
