Default What is this?

Hiya! 09 Street Bob over here.



I took my seat off today and noticed this in the wiring. No idea how long it has been like this or what it even was. It’s totally burned out to the point of dust. Most of it just crumbled away.

Any idea what this is/was??

Looks like your seat has been on it for quite a while!

Where does the other end of the wires go?

Do all your rear lights work?

My guess is it's garbage

Looks like an electrical problem waiting to happen.
My guess is someone added something and did a poor job of it,any added accessories on the bike?

Purple and grey are the colors of the wires going to my turn signals on my '99, so my guess is a load balancer like others have suggested. If you have LED lighting, you'll need to replace that. Mine just plugged inline without cutting wires.
