Hi, my 1st post here, nice forum. For some reason the rear running light is not working on my new TE 410 -99 (single exhaust) Husky. Everything else works ok electrically. Brake light works ok in the back with both pedal and right hand lever. Blinkers works ok aft and front etc I tried to measure the 6 hole 'sugar cube' connector under the bench with a multimeter, there was no 12v available between any 2 points or any point and a frame while the motor was running. I guess the running light wire is broken somewhere at front of the bike. This bike does not seem to have a battery, electrical stuff works only while the motor is running. I could put an extra 12v bright led in the same red box at the back with the brake light. But from where I could steal the 12v? Front main light short and long ones work ok, but they can't put out 12v while they operate. I could not find 12v from the rectifier. Where is the origin point of the rear running light? (in a black box underneath the main lights?) Where is the main wire from stator (generator, which keeps the bikes electrical system alive?) T.Gary
Usually the generator has yellow wires leading out of it that will go to a rectifier (silver rectangular unit with cooling fins), and then a wire will come out of that, that goes to the things that need voltage like lights, radiator fans and such. Your bike probably needs a battery. The 2000 model has one. As for the large gang connector, sometimes the wires corrode and rot right at an individual connection.
Is your bike a kick start model ? I am guessing it is since you don’t have a battery. If it is an electric start the battery is behind the air box cover.
