So I just got done changing suspension and bars on my 1996 EGC. Took air shocks off the back and front. The front air ride had a wire running to it that is now disconnected. I also put on 14" bars. Needed new clutch cable, but not wiring and added brake line. Put her all back together and my wiring is funky. Here are my issues:

1. All fairing lights click on and off
2. Radio clicks on and off
3. No lights work (headlight, passing lights, brakes, running, or turn)
4. The bike cuts off randomly as I'm riding and then kicks back on sometimes...other times I have to hit the start button again.

I have checked all my quick connect harnesses and everything appears to be grounded.

Any ideas? Im at a loss. Fuse? It's older so I have a bunch of aluminum houses fuses and no tester. Bad ground? Loose wire shorting something?

Thanks

 

I forgot to mention. When I am revving the engine the charge of the battery is going up according to the gauge. And the charge of the battery goes down as I let off the throttle.

 

You better start at the beginning and double check everything you disassembled / reassembled. Yes, do check the fuses. I suspect something isn't plugged in that should be.

 

Boomer is right. Unfortunately your query is a common one after making those sorts of changes. There could be a wire damaged or disconnected. A multimeter will help check continuity through the wires, connectors etc.

 

You have a pinched wire somewhere. You definitely need a ohm meter to check your wires, make sure you jiggle the wire whiles testing, even if shows continuity

 

almost impossible to diagnose what some one has done to their wiring over the net. Like calling a doctor and asking do I have a fever over the phone.

 

I had the same problem. The all the plugs in the faring will plug into each other. You have to match all the plugs by wire color, gauge of wire, and how many wires. Couple of them might have a color or two differents.

 

Where were your fingers last? Start there and go back. Not trying to be wise @$$. It works

 

I'd remove the battery to reduce the chances of fire from a short circuit- or damages from the mis-wiring.

A complete do-over is in order.

with a service manual and wiring diagram, you have to check each circuit.

You can pick up a digital multi-meter at Walmart, Loews, Ace and many other places for $25 and it will make trouble shooting so much easier.

Good Luck
