Ooops! need help reassembling flasher and hi/low switch

[zap]

Hi there, I pull apart and cleaned the turn signal, hi/low switches module and made the mistake of not paying enough attention while pulling it apart. Could someone point me to an assembly diagram or be so kind as to help me through it.
Searched the site and google and didn't find anything.

I just rebuilt mine using parts from the original and parts from a new xs650 switch, they are similar but the wiring harness is different. I transplanted the wiring harness from the original into the new switch. Had to do some soldering because the connections for the signal lights on the original had come loose. Doing the right hand switch next.

Life saver! Thanks man. Only thing I’m not 100% on is where the black solo wire on the indicator side goes? Can’t see it in the assembled pics

Edit: or is that it running over the horn button?

 

[Steve Whitton]

Look at the third picture with the red plastic hi/lo switch. That black wire attaches to the screw to the left of it. its a ground wire.

 

[Steve Whitton]

Is this it?

 

[Steve Whitton]

There is also one that attaches next to the horn button just under the L/R OFF lever.

It looks like the horn ground you speak of on mine won’t reach and is also bent. Does it need to ground on the horn button?

 

[Steve Whitton]

Yeah, mine is bent like that also and it should fit. I ran mine next to the pink horn wire under all the other parts and it was just long enough to reach the screw hole. Don't be afraid to pull on it a little to reach the screw hole.

Awesome, thanks a bunch man. I’ll clean this up a bit and see if I can put it all back in there.

 

[Steve Whitton]

Awesome, I took lots of pictures as I disassembled it because my memory is not too good. Now, I can do this blind folded..lol. I just rebuilt the right handlebar switch and that was much easier. Hardest part was soldering on the new horn button to the original wiring harness.

Got it cleaned up and put back together. Thanks for all your help my man

My pleasure to help.
