I know there are thousands of these threads, but since buying this bike the PO said "The headlight, gauge lights, and neutral lights are burnt out" but after changing and testing the lights, i found that the lights were not the problem. I did find this random plug under my airbox that doesn't plug into anything. When i tore it apart i have no mate for this, nothing that it should clearly plug into.
The plug has three wires (a Brown, Green and black) that come from the front of the bike, it branches off somewhere under the tank.
My oil light and turn signal light work, my turn signals, front and rear work, my brake lights also work. My electric start works, my kill switch works too.
My Neutral light never comes on, and my headlight, speedo, tach, and high beam light, have never worked. I suspect its this needing to be connected by to where? and how!? lol
EDIT: - It mates perfectly with the voltage regulator connection, but that already has a set of wires that come up from the back of the bike plugging into it, just so you guys get a picture for what this bundle looks/fits like.
The PO did replace the fuse box with those Orange inline type fuse holders and modern fuses, i don't know if he removed any wires permanently though, he didn't say.
The bike is a 79 xs400 F. I have looked on wiring diagrams in my Clymer Manual but the best i can see is it connecting to something, but on the diagram that something has no label, its just a box....
I have attached a photo to show you the bundle of wires in question.
Any help is appreciated.
