Default Brake Light

I have gone through everything I know what to do. Connecting the taillight I have found the running lights (blue wire). Black (ground), Red/Yellow (brake light I think), and have no clue what the orange/white wire is. On the bulb side it is a custom side mount has two wires coming out red and black I connected the blue wire to both the red and black to find out whick is the brake light and was is the running light. Is there a fuse I don't know about other thatn whats under the seat to get the brake light to work any ideas. Have running lights just no brakes.

Orange White wire is the Auxiliary wire. Used for running light on the international bikes instead of the blue wire on the domestic models. They have their taillight working when you switch contact to Accessories.

Red Yellow wire is the brake light.

As far as I know no fuse apart from the one under the seat.

Maybe your switch went bad?

theoapodaca, Only 2 wires on new light? Black is usually ground (neg.) the red is pos. there might not be a brake light in that new light.
