Wiring Issues

[Kurt827]

I recently purchased a 87 VR. The PO of this bike addecd a cig lighter, which runs directly to the battery. While this wire is hooked up the memory light on the radio stays lit, along with a small red light on the radio, when disconnected they go out, Yes this is all while the key is in the off position.

I am not sure what one has to do with the other, hopefully someone here can help.

Thanks in advance. Kurt

I would disconnect the power outlet/cigarette lighter to what ever it is connected to now and go the the 2 accessory terminals in the fuse box. The center terminal on the outlet is the positive. Do the same for the radio or lights that are on all the time.

Now they can only work when the key is on the ACC or On position.

PM me if you need more assistance.

My 84 has a lighter on the left side of the dash, and stays on all the time also. I though this was stock? as my old 84 also had this same lighter.
