Wiring for Dummies
Hello everyone, i have a 1996 Wide Glide and when I bought the bike the previous owner had added some stuff to the bike. It never really ram as it should, you ask how i know I owned a 95 before. he add a SS carb and pipes and mufflers and the other thing he added is why i am asking this. It was a CRANE CAMS HI4 which has 5 wires coming out of it going to where ever they put it at. the bike will not start and I was told the Module has gone out. I am installing a Mallory Accel Ignition Module. My question is does anyone have or know where I could go and get the original wiring diagram so I can go back to stock. The Crane am one has 5 wires coming from it, which is Red, Green, Brown, White and Black. The Accel has 3 wires which are Red, Green and Brown. So that is why a titled this wiring for dummies. an someone please give me some help on this, I figure that I am going to have to rewire everything they put in just to get this part put in and get the bike to running. THANK YOU VERY MUCH...

One problem I see is that you likely have a an ignition pickup for a external ignition module which is the stock setup. It probably cose about $100. The crane hi4 is a self contained unit.. You will need to replace the crane unit with something like a Dynatek 2000i or Daytona Twin tech that has similar wiring and more cost.

Both come with instructions on how to install. You can find them on each website.

That wasn`t directed at you, it was just part of my signature line, I`ll fix it.

But that doesn`t mean I can`t stand whining on Harley forums, and they are full of it.

There is too much in the original post, hard to follow for my old brain.
One issue at a time...

Yeah, it is pretty hard to follow. Maybe if he went back and cleaned it up a little he'd get more answers.

Ok guys lets try this. Does anyone know how the wiring should be from the coil to under the cover?
Sorry, I am new here and was just trying to explain the problem I am having,
So from now on it will be short and maybe sweet.

If you want someone to hold your hand, find an old fart that is local or take it to a shop.
