What is it your wiring up. Looks like part of an alarm, maybe :confused You may have a permanent live (battery feed) and an accessory (ignition live). Which way around is hard to tell as different manufactures will use different colours. Need more info.

OK I am trying to be logical about this. Black is obviously the earth going by the colour and it has a ring terminal. The Red and Yellow are both fused which suggests they are both live, so Red I would have thought is a permanent and the Yellow is either an accessory feed or it goes to the switch. I asked this in the other thread, but what's on the other end by the connector block. What does it connect too? Does it come with it's own switch? You obviously have the led to let you now it's switched on. If the yellow is an accessory then you could join it to the Red and connect them both to the battery to test if it works. This would give you a permanent feed so will work with the ignition off. But that is all just guesswork. Mmmm It looks like it draws some serious power as those cables on the lights themselves are massive.

I'm wondering why you would need a permanent feed to it. Unless you want operate them at a show or something without the ignition being switched on. :think: If you have it on a permanent then that's just something else to possibly cause some battery drain.

If it was say an alarm it would make sense because alarms need to function when the bike is switched off and an accessory feed is only there to switch it into a different mode when riding.

OK did I say the Black could be the earth. It's more than likely the negative. If I was you, I would connect that to the neg on the battery. Then I would start by connecting the Red to a permanent (battery live) via a fuse. Then use a test light to find out if there is any current coming off the Yellow. Then just as a precaution swap them around and do the same test again. If no lives come from either then you safe. So connect both the Red and Yellow up to the permanent (battery) to see how this affects things. If it all works then great. We are on the right track.

Then disconnect the Yellow and put this on an accessory and see how this changes things. Do the lights work permanently or do they require the ignition on? If they require the ignition to be switched on for them to work, try also connecting the Red up to the accessory (ignition) as well. Do the lights now only work once the ignition is switched on? If yes that's great just have them on an accessory feed. If not with the yellow connected to the accessory swap around with the Red and do the same test again.

What's the Grey wrapped up in electrical tape?

Black = neg
