What do the white and green wires go to?

Post by delagem »

Hi, on my Paso there's a pair of wires, one white, one green, that aren't connected to anything. Up under the tank, left hand side....

I've spent an hour looking at the nice colored schematic posted on this site, but I can't read the letters so I can't tell white from brown from black....

Can anyone tell me what these do?

I don't know, maybe from the headlight? but.....................................

Is this one a little clearer? Use the -/+ feature to get real close it's very clear and then click on the bottom right of the panel to fill your sceen.

Ah, much better! Thank you sir! It's a big file, but is there any chance that could be added to the site somewhere?

Didn't notice the black stripe on the bottom of the white wire. White/black and Green, #42, "Turn Indicators Acoustic Signal". Which would explain the 8v strobing when the turn signal was either left or right.... (can't see it with a Fluke 73, had to break out the antique Simpson analog meter to get a reading!)

My Paso doesn't have one, and although the memory is quite hazy, my Paso 20 years ago didn't have one either. Does anybody have a buzzer that makes noise when their turn signals are on, on their bike?

I just now read this thread and I already PM'ed you the link to the page I have on my new website with all three of the colored wiring schematics.

I recall asking about that connector a few years ago when I first got my Paso. Here is the picture I took of mine when I was asking about it...

I don't remember which one is which, but one is for the acoustic signal and the other is for a parking lamp that is not on my bike, either.

Awesome, Terry, thanks! I enjoyed your writeups on the Pasos on your site, too! We're both members of the $900 eBay Paso club!

Good luck with the 916 motor, that's something I'd be very interested in....
