  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Led taillight bar problems

Husqvarna
AA Class
I lost my rear tail light somewhere in my move and don't have turnsignals anymore, so I bought a flexible led bar that has brake light, running light and turn signal function. I wired it all up and the turn signal work fine, but the tail light just blinks. If I remove the green wire from the equation the running lights work fine. So, once I hookup brake light it just goes flashing in high output. Touch the brake levers have no effects. Front turn signals are still stock ones and the led signals work fine.
Any guesses????
 
Not the most helpful tip but I hate wiring and this may bump your thread to the top of the pile.

Scrub that I absolutely loathe wiring.
 
Haha yea wiring sucks sometimes.
Here is a pick of the brake light wire under the seat. There are two yellow and red wires that ran into the socket in parallel. This is for the running lights. One has no power and the other does. Only when these are connected does it flash. When I run the running light or the brake light to to the green(brake) wire on the harness it doesn't flash. Activating the brake switch doesn't do anything
 
OK....I figured out the yellow/red wire issue. One goes to the front brake switch and one to the rear. The rear was the dead one, until stepping on the lever. Works fine. The live wire is the front brake and that switch is stuck on. The flashing light is just how the brake light work when powered. Now, I just need to figure out why the front brake signal wire is stuck on.
 
I lost myself....haha.
I figured it out and it's finished. This light is supposed to flash when the brakes applied and the front brake lever brake switch fell off, causing power to be sent to the light at all times.
 
shit- had to delete my suggestions! I wrote them a while ago but later, when I posted it: exact same as your solution. Made me look like an after-the-fact genius (or ass, really)
