'03 WG bought last year, doing some maintenance on it. There is a small gauge wire connector on the battery ground post that has disconnected from its wire (photo attached), which runs to a very small rectangular something with 3 circles on it that appears to be glued to the underside of the frame backbone. I took a picture of the thing
as best I could, in the pic it's to the left of the bolts. Neither the connector, the wire or the rectangular thing are on my '00 WG. Can anyone tell me what it is? Bike's been running fine without it so I guess it's not that big a deal but i am curious.
That's the thing. I did trace it, a short wire that runs from the connector (still on the post in the first pic, with the disconnected wire shown just above it) to that thing on the underside of the frame backbone. Doesn't seem to be part of any circuit. There are no other loose wires anywhere in the vicinity of the connector or the post. Everything I see is consistent with that wire becoming disconnected from that connector. What possible use could it be? I sup[pose I could reconnect it and see what happens but who knows, I could open a portal into another dimension and bring about the end of the world as we know it. And I don't want that on my head.
I don't think that thing was there from the factory. Just rip it out and confirm it is a LED light that some previous owner added for some extra bling factor during evening rides
The box in question has a wire going to a ground (negative) post that is not connected? I'm I understanding you correctly? If that is true then that means the box in question is not in use. It won't function without a ground.
Does the box in question have other connections on it? It must have a power source of some kind in order to have a function.
