First off, hey everyone!!
I own an 09 Fz6r.
So I bought a $60 Integrated LED Tail Light off ebay a good bit ago and didn't realize the connections were going to be different.
I feel awful at explaining things sometimes, so bare with me lol.
So the connection for the taillight on the bike itself, I believe had a male connector.
The taillight I ordered didn't have anything to plug in, it was just the wires.
I figured I could just splice the connections together and it'd be okay.
The taillight comes on beautifully, just the brake lights don't seem to be working when I use the front and rear brakes.
I'm not riding until I figure out what's going on.
People need to know when I'm using my brakes lol.
I believe I have everything connected properly as well.
Black to black - the ground
Red wire from the taillight to blue wire on the bike - running light
Blue wire from the taillight to yellow wire on the bike - brake light
I have pictures of everything, but I'm trying to figure out how to upload them.
I've also searched around on here to see if anyone had any similar issues.
Someone mentioned a possible fuse issue and I believe the other was a bad switch??
Anyways, any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thank you!!
I'm glad to know there's an Fz6r group/family that's here to help each other out!!
