Default Quick wiring question
I have my tank off and replaced my triple trees. I have reconnected the turn signals on both side and the left and right bundles that come through the trees. Now I have the connectors that go to the dash and tank sorted out, but can't identify this one here:



Its a four wire with flat blades inside the connector. The wires are solid red, white, yellow, and black.



I just want to know if I need to fish for its mate up in the neck or if it is somewhere on the tank or dash that I missed. Thanks for any help.

If that wire is orange/white and not red could be head light.

OR/Wh is usually accessory power. White, Yellow and Black usually go to the headlight.

Check your fuel pump/gauge, other than those not sure what that would go to up front.

Rule #1. Always tag cables before pulling them apart.

Look for a plug that has the same dimensions and same number of sockets and see if they fit together.

Better yet. Put the cable down and take a photo of the whole cable. From were it starts and finishes. And a photo of what plugs you have left over that's not connected. Post them and let us have a look.

Instead of tagging and photographing, which is not a bad idea... Get the wiring diagrams, if you don't have a service manual, which includes them, try this link that Rene was good enough to post for everyone.
