    Mystery Wire

    I was cleaning all the connectors on my new 83 1100E and I discovered a solid green wire coming out of the wiring harness in the vicinity of the battery. Its long enough to reach the negative battery terminal, but I don't think that is where it belongs.This wire has a circular flat connector on the end. I've looked at the wiring diagram and can't find a solid green wire that terminates in the battery area. Does anybody know where this wire is suppose to go?

    from the schematic : plain "G" (green) is a horn wire. "G/Bl" (Green with Blue tracer) is the battery sensor wire

      It may be wire for the battery light. Some of those model bikes had a battery light and took a battery with a 3rd post. if the battery light is on , on your dash try touching it to the positive post of the battery, and see if the light goes out.

        Untraceable, it goes into the main loom and appears to be factory installed, not ad addition. The round flat connector is what throws me. Obviously it is intended to be bolted/screwed down to something. Everything works, horns, lights, gauges, etc, so I don't know what to do with it.

            As I mentioned if that is the wire for the battery it is "G/Bl" not Green. I just checked mine, It is a little hard to see.
