Default Wiring Diagrams / Issues?

Does anyone have the wiring diagrams for a 90 softail. I decided that while i was waiting for my carb and intake to come i would fix the wiring on the softail, well i got my turn signals to come one but they wont flash, i got my high and low beams to work, but my brake light wont come on at all ( checked the bulb, its good ), got the ignition all wired and good to go, and finally i have no horn. Any ideas? on any of them?

Once again...

Thanks

Ground wire to one terminal on the horn, live goes through the horn button.

Which brake light, front or rear?

Sounds like your flsaher relay is not grounded.

The wiring diagram is on the last page of your manual. Just before the index.

Between the tanks under the ignition. Did they work before you Fukked with it?
If so go back over every thing you did again. I've got a 94 softail manual at home, but I'm in Tx rite now and won't be home until late tonight.

Boy I hate using the "Touring Forums" stock answer, but in this case it fits. Do you have a factory manual?? The wiring diagrams are in the back. You need one if you don't have one as it seems you aren't afraid to tackle what needs to be done. One tip on the wiring diagrams take them to a good copy center and have them enlarge as much as possible, then have them laminated. That way you can read them easily and they will last. Hope this helps.

No the previous decided turn signals were not his style and took them and cut the wires all the way up the harness, so no turn signals

This may be a dumb question but are you holding the signal switch or just hitting it? My wifes 89 heritage she has to hold it to make them blink, well she use to then I added the module for it.
