After lots of work on a 1985 250es, I have messed up something on the wiring so that the neutral light won't work or the push button. Maybe you guys will see right away whats going on...
Here's the details:
- When I turn on the key, nothing happens. Neutral light and push button do nothing in neutral.
- Starter solenoid turns over bike when jumped out.
- Immediately broke out the test light and checked the little wires that engage starter solenoid.
- With test light clip on -ve terminal of battery, when I touch one of the little wires on the solenoid, the neutral light comes on.
- If I simultaneously press the start button, the test light lights up, so the wire is carrying current.
- Engine won't turn over with push button.
My dad's friend says she's "hunting for ground". Battery is good and the headlight works using switch cluster on handle bar. The ony other thing it the original switch cluster was no good, so I got a used working one from a TRX250 and put it on.
I am terrible with electrial stuff. What the heck is going on with this thing?
Thanks
