Hi all.
Cracked a directional and ordered a (supposedly) OEM version off Bikebandit.com.
The signals I have on the bike just have ONE black wire coming out, which plugs into an orange wire somewhere in the headlight-tangle-harness.
The signals I RECEIVED have 2 wires, a red and a black.
If I plug the red into the orange and ground the black, all I get is a solid directional (no blinking). Same thing happens if I reverse this - black->orange, ground the red wire.
I am pretty useless reading the electrical diagram, but the ones I've found seem to indicate that there's only supposed to be one wire coming straight out of the directional itself.
So, can I make this work with the 2-wire setup, and if so, how?
Directions for the electrically-challenged much appreciated!
