I'm looking for the wire for the low battery idiot light on a 79 gs 1000 engine. I have a 83 gs 1100 e front end with cluster I'm wiring on it and it has the light and wanted to hook it up. Location and or color would be awsome.

The warning light in the gauge cluster is actually a 'low battery fluid' indicator.... on the '82/'83 it works via a probe sensor that plugs into a (specially designed) battery featuring a port atop one of the cells, to accept it....light illuminates if the fluid falls below a certain level and the probe is dry. The sensor-compatible batteries are pretty expensive...most of us run either a non-sensor battery, or even better, an AGM battery that you never have to refill. This causes the idiot light to stay illuminated, but you shouldn't have that problem on a 1000, without a sensor. -
you can just remove the bulb or attach the wire to +battery to get the light to go out.
Wait a minute, are you using the idiot light control box as well?Comment
