Wiring for brake and tail light on Vstar 1100 Classic
Quote from mayrel47 on December 13, 2016, 10:30 amI've researched the wiring schematic for my 2007 Vstar 1100 Classic. Under the seat there is a junction box with a multitude of wires leading out. Based on the schematic, the blue wire is running light/tail light and the yellow wire is the brake light. I have a 12 volt test light which has the sharp point on one end. I thought I'd pierce each of these wires to test their function. I'm wondering if the wires from the junction box which are not solid colors in fact correspond to the schematic which indicates these wires are one color? The wires from the junction box have colored lines or dashes. Anybody have any experience with this? Early thanks, John.

I removed some of the conduit and found the two wires I needed(blue and yellow), hooked into them and we have lights. Thanks for your input. Merry Christmas...John
