Hi.

Aye Fuzz,

Wiring diagram, multi-meter and patience! :( There are no quick fixes! ???

I am sorry to post such a dismal start to a new day.  :-[

All the best playing with your multi-coloured spaghetti. ;)

Bill.

Are the XT500 lights powered by the battery or lighting coil ?.

What else is working, not working or working strangely? Any glowing neutral lights? Does the battery go flat if left for a day or two?
