Various electrical questions on 2000 Venture

[Sandbagger]

Hello all,

I have a 2000 MM Venture with various electrical issues and looking for some advice.

I have a repair manual but can't find the answers in the book.

1) rear left turn signal- Do you know where the signal bulb socket ties in with the first connector? Is it behind the license plate? Assume it doesnt connect all the way to the fuse box.

2) Right front turn signal- Do you know where the signal bulb socket ties in with the first connector? Same issue as above.

3) Riding lights- Where should those tie into the electrical system? When should they be on?

 

Appreciate your help?

1) behind the license.

2) behind the fairing below and left of headlight.

3) passing lamps depend on how they were connected. Mine are according to the Yamaha installation instructions. Connected to the low beam circuit and a switch next to the aux power.

Passing lights really should be run through a relay to get the load off the ignition switch.

I even went so far as to put my headlight on a relay. Probably did it too late, 'cause my ignition switch is failing.
