Fuse panel is for the transceiver and controls on tank panel, box behind that is an antenna splitter. Cruise module under the seat. So many modern inconveniences...
Well... I stand corrected, I definitely see the red wire. Other than that, I have color deficient vision and the rest of them are light and dark. So I approach wiring differently than most, haven't seen a harness than clean in years and not being on the side of the road with a flashlight in my mouth and in the rain doesn't seem right. If I need anymore excuses, I'll make some up.
I can tell you where each every wire goes in all the photos and what they do, but for now.... two things jump out at me - wires one and two. Just a guess but wire 2 looks like the original regulator to main breaker. Wire 1 looks like a wire coming from the current regulator. Probably got replaced and someone didn't take the old one out, just ran the new one. See it all the time.....
You still running a standard lead acid battery? Get outta here! Put a regulator on it and don't buy a cheap one, lose the extra wires when you run the new one too.
I'm with ya on the left over lead from previous repair. I will remove if it is.
1. Regulator shot. Get a HD one from the dealer.
2. Dunno what the extra wire is for on the main breaker. Trace it out. Also, yeah, I have no idea what that extra panel with fuses is for. As I said, alarm system there somewhere? I would leave the extra wire off and see what doesn't work.
You guys are the best. Thanks for the help today .....
Goin' on the 2 hr drive tomorrow to buy a reg from the dealer.
Procured a new OEM regulator today. Charging as hoped.
Left the battery hooked up overnight without tender. Minimal loss overnight.
Mystery wire at breaker still has battery power so it is still hooked up. Will trace at a later date.
Will take a ride tomorrow on my new to me Ultra Glide.
Hoping I like the bagger experience from this 35 year Superglide rider.
Thanks all!
Talk later.
