    Signals woes

    Yes I know I should be able to figure this out but the wiring diagram only shows two lines coming off the directional and I have 3 on each side at the harness and 3 from the directional. Been at it for a freaking hour on my gs700 Anyone have a pic or a better diagram?

    Gosh Joe, every diagram on Cliffs sites shows each indicator have just two wires. Thats kind of a head scratcher

      The 1150 I just wired up had three. Ground, signal and running lights.

        Yeah that messes me up every time I plug in the flasher unit.One way works and the other doesn't.If you have a 2 prong flasher why use a 3 prong plug?And what's that other wire for anyway?It's a bit of 3 gen 750/700 weirdness BD.

          From the harness I have this

          B/W (2 into one )

          Black ( 2 )

          Gray (2 into one )

          Green ( 2 )

          Which is which?

            B/W = ground

            LG (light green) = right signal

            Black = left signal

            There is no reference for Gray in the wiring diagram. There should be a Brown wire in your headlamp bucket though, for running accessory lights. You could tap into that if your turn signals have a running light feature.

            Not sure this answers your question Joe but hope it helps.

              There is a brown hanging loose, I'll play with it

              Thanks Ed
