How to wire lights to the magneto it is a dirtbike with only a brake light that I found the wires have been cut. It never had a head light but if nothing else I would like to connect the tail lights back up and if possible a head light.....How do I do this? where do I connect the wires? Thanks

all earth wires are black on Suzuki are they not? Attatch them to a test lamp with ignition on if the lamp doesn't light up then they are all probably earth wires ??,

Your truck may have had the factory trailer tow package, but that did not come with a wiring connector in that year. There should be a wire harness under the rear of the truck near the center of the bumper with 7 wires of the following colors/characteristics -

Red/Orange - +12V Battery (Thick Wire) From fuse #8 (40A)
Black/Orange - Tail Markers (Thick Wire)
Light Blue - Trailer Brakes (Thick Wire)
Violet/Black - Backup Lights (Thin Wire)
Dark Green/Red - Left Stop/Turn - (Thin Wire)
Brown/Red - Right Stop/Turn - (Thin Wire)
Black - Ground - (Thick Wire)



Under the dash, the brake controller wiring should be -

Red/Orange - +12V Battery (Thick Wire) From fuse #8 (40A)
Black/Orange - Ground - (Thick Wire)
Light Blue - Trailer Brakes (Thick Wire)
White/Tan - Brake Light sense - (Thin Wire)

Hope this helps.

first remove the wire you hook up rear tail and break circuit. (1)install ground wire to the frame (2)turn on the head light switch and go to the rear to find the +12 volt on the wire then hook it up to the led tail circuit, it should only light up that circuit but if both still come on then the new led unit is not config right. Replace it or have it modified. if only the tail circuit is on then go to (3)cut off the head light switch and have someone step on the break peddle then fine the +12 volt on the wire and hook it up to the brake led circuit.(only the brake circuit should be on) hope this help you. .

you will have to install a lighting coil and a resistor the lighting coil will install behind the magneto and the resistor somewhere else the resistor is so the light will not surge and burn out or put out to much current and burn the lights out

You have a short to ground which is a hot wire touching metal.Check your wires on your brake light housings trace wires and look for cut or worn insulation.

BUY A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL.IT HAS ALL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS - HEAD LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS DIAGRAM.I SEEN MOST CARS AND TRUCKS THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IF GO BAD YOU WONT HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. ITS SHARE THE SAME CIRCUIT WITH BRAKE LIGHTS .

First replace the fuse with a 12v light bulb. That way you don't waste money by blowing out fuses after another. Just keep the lightbulb in there while you look for the short. You start at the back. See which color wire is for the brake lights. You can also try unplugging the brake switch underneath. You will know if you had found the short because the light bulb will go out if you cut the power to the wire either by cutting or unplugging aconnector. Good luck. Ther is nothin wrong with cutting wires as long as you fix them back with good connection and well insulated with electrical tape or heatshrink tubing. Note that most shorts are caused by human error. For example rigging up things and not insulating the wires properly, or cross wiring something. Goodluck

its not got a feed for charging the battery you need the right part to fix it, swoping bits from an older bike some times realy wont work out for you,, get one from the same moddel and year of bike and its then just a case of a strate swop over,,,
you can fit a lorry wheel on a car can you?

you give some good clues. because your third brake light works but not the other two, and because you sometimes get brake lights if you have turn signals on at the same time, i would say that some wires got crossed up with your other taillights. check out the power wires back in the taillight assembly and the wires that run back to the taillights. something is mixed up back there, now you just have to find it. if all else fails after you isolate which wires are the brake light wires get some new wire, same gauge and roughly same length, remove a bit of insulation but don't cut the wire in two, and put the new wire in as an overlay. if having the new piece of wire there makes the brake light work you found the break in the wire. you can cut out the bad piece and fasten the new piece in. you can solder it if you have the equipment to do that, or you can buy some squeeze in place connectors at the car parts store. either way, good idea to tape it up when you are done. hope that helps

This can be caused by a number of things. You just have to eliminate each one.
Light Globe Replace one with a new one if it works replace both.
Fuse Check fuse in fuse panel under bonnet.
Brake pedal switch Unclip wire connector, check with circuit volt light indicator, Ohm meter or other continuity tester.
Wiring from pedal switch to light globe As above (maybe cut squashed or broken wiring)
Hope this helps
