Nodaker Posted August 6 #1 Posted August 6 This could be a long message, but I'll ttry to get to the point. Doing a cassete player delete. replacing with a usb charge port, aux. dash port and Bluetooth receiver. In the process of identifying an acc. switched power source for a relay for the before mentions add-ons, I identified the 12v +/- at the pigtail that used to power the cassete. Figured I was on the home stretch at this point..... I turned key switch off and proceeded to cut the two wires so I could connect them to the relay. When cutting the wires (both at the same time,-not recommended-brain fart) I notice an ever-so-small spark from the red wire. WTH, I double checked and the key switch was still off! (residual voltage?) End result, nothing related to the audio system powers up now!!! I've checked all fuses, side of bike and behind the front/right fairing. Did I blow something inside the radio module? is there a fuse link inside of it. If this had not happened I would be finishing up this project today, instead of spreading more bike parts around the shop. Thanks in advance for any assistance, Nodaker

Nodaker Posted August 7 Author #3 Posted August 7 Checked the "Audio" fuse at right front location. It was good but I swapped it out anyway. Checked the "Back Up" fuse at left/side location. Also good but swapped out anyway. I've attached a couple photos of the pigtail harness that used to power the cassette deck. I was in the process of finding a switched power source for a relay, thinking I could use the Red/Black wires in this pigtail ( since it wouldn't be used for anything else anymore.) My problem started (no Audio) when I cut the two wires at the same time with the key switch off. Not sure why, as when i was confirming those two wires as a 12v source I made sure they were on/off with the key switch. Still looking for solution. Thanks!
