2000 Wiring Diagram

Hey All
Is there a wiring diagram available for a 2000 Bulldog? I've found many 2004+ diagrams but I doubt they're the same.
I'm replacing the Badlands lighting module I thought was faulty, but I think some dickhole has the turn signal wiring completely screwed. I'm replacing the standard Badlands controller with their Pro III. I tied the new unit into the wires the old unit was connected to, but every time I turned off the key, it would activate 4-ways. I discovered they ran turn signal wires to the digital cluster's indicator inputs. I cut those and ran the indicator outputs from the Pro III to the cluster, so the indicators now work correctly. The wires I cut seem to work as normal turn signal feeds so I tied into those instead, but the module/lights still aren't right.

The violet and brown wires they had the original module wired to both have -12v to them once the key is turned off. Certainly doesn't seem right. These were both sourced in a harness under the seat.
The turn signal wires I tied into do not have -12v when the key is off.

I have the badlands on mine also. It will be tomorrow afternoon before I can give much thought to this. If no one comes up with an answer before then, give me a call and we can walk through it together. Sometimes having an extra 1/2 a brain in the thought process helps. I'll PM you my number.

The wiring on a 2000 should be pretty simple. My 2000 prosport has a Thunderheart controller in it. If you go to their website they used to have a diagram on there. Don't over think it.

I think she's going to go in to have this looked at. I'll call Namz/Badlands tomorrow to troubleshoot the module, but something isn't right.
Even without the turn signal inputs connected, the dash indicators show 4-ways when the key is turned on. Not every key cycle but most. Right now the module is only tied into the brake and running light. If I power it, the rear signals flash all the time.
I should be receiving a new back tire and lift this week, so I'll be able to get to the wiring for the rear LED lights once I pull the rear wheel. I know they were wired incorrectly as the running lights are on the bright side of the turn signals, and were like that on the old module.

Yea, give badlands a call. I called them earlier this year, I thought my module was bad. After 5 minutes on the phone with them, they determined I had a bad switch. And they were right.:oldthumbsup:

OK, said dickhole had the LEDs wired correctly; kinda hard to screw it up with only 2 wires. What he did do, is tied the brake and tail light wires together coming out of the rear lighting harness connector. So the tail light wire was backfeeding through the module, causing the rear turn signals to get full 12v/brighness all the time. :mad::mad::mad:
So tonight I'll be installing a pair of diodes and a resistor to tie the brake/tail feeds together properly into the LED's single + wire.

Works perfectly now. I used a 220ohm resistor for the tail light power feed; brightness of all three lights looks pretty uniform.
