![]() ![]() That makes them fragile and prone to breaking especially if soldered.īy the way, a switched live ALWAYS only refers to the bike's main live feed which is turned on and off by the ignition switch. Another consideration is that brake light sub-looms often have much thinner wires than the bike side of the loom plug. If it does, you can tap the green/white to feed your relay if you want, though black/brown is still the favoured option otherwise if your brake light switch ever needs changing or just un-plugging, you can't because you've made a permanent connection the wrong side of the plug. So the answer at face value is plug in the loom connector and confirm that the green/yellow passes straight through and the black/brown turns into green/white to feed the brake light switch. So, presumably one wire is the power and the other the switched live to complete the circuit, but, which is which? I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the brown/black is switched live for Honda, which would make the green/yellow the power. The wiring diagram shows a brown/black wire going to the switch and a yellow/green wire from the switch going to the brake and tail light. The bike side of the LOOM PLUG has a green/ yellow striped wire and a brown/black striped wire and the switch side OF THE PLUG has a green/yellow striped wire and a white wire with a thin green line.

The chosen 'thing' will have it's ground connection either direct to frame or the battery negative terminal (I wouldn't recommend connecting to any Green wires if it wants high current.) and its positive feed from one of the relay switched terminals. So relay has a coil side (which will be connected to the ignition controlled power) and a switch side (which will feed power from the battery to the 'thing')īased on the kindly provide circuit diagram I would suggest connecting the coil side of relay to Brown/Black (ignition controlled power) and ground (direct to frame or Green on the diagram) It's high current so you don't want it to draw power from the ignition circuit directly but instead get power from the battery and control when it gets power via a relay. I tell you what, mathematically, I'm having itĭo you have a 'thing' that needs power. So the question I was actually asking (as opposed to the one you answered) was which of the wires on the "switch" side of the block to use. If the brown/black is carrying power when the ignition is live, on the "bike" side of the connector block, it must also be carrying power on the "switch" side. So if you want the relay to be energised only when you pull the brake thats the one to go for, if not listen to Pete.īoth wires entering the switch can't be energised by the switch though. Yes it is a switched live, switched by the brake light switch so will only be live when you pull the brakes. Apologies if I am being dense here, but doesn't the green/yellow go from the switch to the brake light (it looks like it on the diagram), the brown/black feeds the switch, but connects to the green/white on the "switch" side of the connector, so the green/white is also the switched live (just on the other side of the connector)?
