| Post subject: | Repro Tail Light Assembly |
Just spent nearly 4 days fault-finding electrics on the new rebuild, using new reproduction tail light units as the originals had the usually die cast rot under the chrome. All the rear lights came on together. I guessed that something got crossed-up in the wiring when I reinstalled it. Hard to tell if the wires are Green/Purple or Green/Black or Green/Brown. Nothing worked until I removed one fuel tank to get the new tail-light assembly out. Normally, the bottom twin filament globeholder has a red lead (for tail light) and a green lead(for brake). But these were connected to the opposite terminals on the globes inside the globeholder. If using these new tail-lamp units, just check first! |

Ah yes! The old "remove the fuel tank" situation to troubleshoot wiring issues. Did it a while ago. PIA for 5 minutes to sort the wiring out... |

Chong's Mini K doesn't have this problem. A previous owner put 2 self tappers through the LH lamp base to hold it. The 3 studs just sit in their holes for location. It's a bloody good idea IMO. |
