Default Installing new handlebars, but....

the left passing lamp does not turn on now. I soldered all the wires and tested last night. Everything works fine except that lamp. Does anyone know of a website whereI can see a wiring diagram? I can not afford the service manual at the moment (or else I would pay someone to install if I had money). If any one can help me that would be awesome. Thanks.

Default RE: Installing new handlebars, but....

I don’t have access to a wiring diagram right now but if all you did was cut and solder the wires together you probably reconnected the colored wires correctly (Blue to Blue, Black to Black, etc). I had the same issue. Everything worked – all switches, lights (High and Low beam), horn, etc. except for the left turn signal.
I pulled gas tank back off and found that the connector for the turn signals on theRight side (Black connector with 6 wires 2black, 2purple, 2blue) had so much stress the way I routed the wires that the pins inside the connector were pulling out. I pushed the pins back in and re-routed the turn signal harness and connector so there was no strain on the wires and gave it a quick test before I buttoned it all back together. It worked perfectly.

Good Luck!

You might wanna check the wiring...... when I changed my bars, all worked fine but the fuel noise at start up. Turned out that I plugged one of the wires the wrong way back in, (that's why It wouldn't click back properly.)

Ripped it all apart again and re did it, worked fine.

Or ........... you may wanna check the bulb.
