CHAPTER SEVEN
ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS
This
section
contains
information
on electrical
components
other
than
switches.
Some
of
the test
procedures
covered in
this
section
specify
taking
a meter
reading
within
the
electrical
connector
attached
to
a
specific
part.
Under
these
conditions,
make
sure
that
the meter
test lead
has
penetrated
into
the
connector
and is
touching
the
bare metal
wire,
not
the
insulation
on
the wire.
If
the test lead
does
not
touch
the
bare
metal
wire,
the readings
will
be false
and may
lead
to
the
unnecessary
purchase
of
an
expensive
electrical
part
that
cannot
be
returned
for
a refund.
Most
dealers
and
parts
houses
will
not
accept
any
returns
on
electrical
parts.
If
you
are
having
trouble
u/ith
electrical
components,
these
quick
preliminary
checks
may
save
a lot
of
time.
a.
Disconnect
each
electrical
connector
and
check
that there
are no
bent metal
pins
on
the
male
side
of the
electrical
connenctor
(Figure
6l). A
bent
pin
will
not
connect
to
its
mating
receptacle
in
the female
end
of the
connector,
causing
an open
circuit.
b. Check
each
female
end
of the
connector.
Make
sure
that
the metal
connector
on the
end
of
each
wire
(Figurc
62) is
pushed
all
the way
into
the
plastic
connector.
If not,
carefully
push
them
in
with
a narrow
bladed
screwdriver.
c. Check
all
electrical wires
where
they
enter
the
individual
metal
connector
in
both the
male
and
female
plastic
connector.
d. After
all is
checked
out,
push
the
connectors
together
and make
sure
they
are fully
engaged
and locked
together
(Figure
63).
Instrument
Cluster
Removal/Installation
(Magna)
Refer
to
Figure
44 for
this
procedure.
l. Remove
both
side
covers.
2. Disconnect
the
battery
negative
lead.
3. Remove
the headlight
and
headlight
case
as
described in
this chapter.
4. Disconnect
the
speedometer
cable from
the
meter.
5.
Disconnect
the 4-pin
and
9-pin
electrical
connectors
and individual
electrical
connectors
from
the instrument
cluster. Label
the individual
wires.
Loose connector
6. Remove
the nuts
securing
the
instrument
cluster
to
the upper fork
bridge. Remove
the
instrument
cluster.
CAUTION
After
the
instrument
cluster has been
removed,
set the cluster
down
with
the
meter
face
and
needles
facing
upward.
If
the
cluster is set with
the
faces
down,
the
needle
damping
fluid
will
leak out
onto
the
instrument
face
and lens.
7.
Install
by
reversing
these
removal
steps.
8.
Make
sure
all electrical
connectors are tight
and
free
of
corrosion.
