Im trying to fix my buddy's CBR100RR. He dumped it while turning on oil. which cracked the clutch plate, frame slider and tail fairing. I have finished those but now I'm trying to install new LED lighting.

Before the winter came i started on the Led tail light. I had to figure out the wiring first off and I wrote it down. I lost the paper, but it wasn't too hard to figure it out so I went for it again yesterday. The Tail light wires are two wires ending at a clip that plugs into factory clip. I believe it is the power and brake light wires. the two other wires control left and right turn signals. The problem I ran into was when I turn a signal on nothing happened, including the front signals would turn off accordingly. And the brake light would not work. The brake light is the easiest because there is no splicing involved. The factory tail light wouldn't even work.

My thoughts are when I try to send another power source to a light it does not work. driving lights work, but turn off when I press the turn signal switch. The battery was dead but I removed it to charge it before I did any of this work.

I had them working before, but I needed to install the resistors. They were blinking too fast.
Any ideas???

 

any buddy know how to deal with the issue of the turn signal and brake light switches?

 

That is good to know, but I didn't get to fully installing the resistors. one wire to a resistor. never the full connection. But I did remove it and put the factory lights back on so that I could start from square one and the signals still did not blink or brake light. Thats including the front signals, which I never did work on.

 

If your headlights are turning off when you hit the blinker, you more than likely have a short in a wire somewhere. Being that the tail section was damaged, that'd be the first place I'd look. Or, you may have touched a hot wire to ground with the key on. It only takes a sec to blow the fuse.

I believe the blinkers and brake light share the same fuse. I might be mistaken, but I also think the horn shares that same fuse. I'd check the fuses. They are located behind the left side fairing. the sucky thing is having to pull the fairing off to get to them.

Is the blinker indicator working on the gauge cluster?

 

the headlights aren't affected, but its a high possibility that a hot wire touched the ground. this guy said he did connect the battery to see if i would start when i wasnt there. he probably did it in. Thanks for the fuse panel location. I will check that!

 

Fixed the issue! the fuse was blown, I successfully replaced the clutch plate, oiled her up and installed an L.E.D. tail light with a new tail fairing. My first bike fix went okay!

 

good deal. Glad its working out for you.
