Electrical drama

[snaggy]

I doing a new build with a wire plus harness..all electrics are good BUT starter side is a problem ..on the module i have all green lights but compression release is red (manual compression release)i can hear starter relay clicking but when i press start button there is no voltage at green trigger wire to solenoid WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

 

[HMAN]

Dont use the Wiresplus. Long outta business. Zero service or parts. WildSteedWorx has a rock solid EHC replacement. Dont hack ur harness to install outdated components. Jmo.

Too late mate ....ive already installed it ....any ideas whats going on ....

 

[Rottweiler]

Trace the green wire back to the relay. Check power on the other side of that relay.

 

[snaggy]

Yes i have checked power from ignition white wire from key switch to module and i have power....i have changed relays but nothing different there either....
I have power to the module the relay clicks when i hit the start button but no 12 volts comes out the green trigger wire to solenoid

 

[HMAN]

I cant quite remember cause the install was yrs ago, but I seem to remember a wire had to be added? Yellow seems stuck in the brain but I cant be sure. I'll see if I have any notes in the install folder later today.

Take a wire from the battery and activate the solenoid. This will eliminate that there is a starter problem. And like Hman said, there are better options than wire plus.

Starting relay inside the wire plus is probably not working which was a big issue with wire plus.. if everything else is working when you are doing a systems check then I would put a slam button on the starter and crank it from there...hell I road my blue bike for 9 years off the slam button...with that all said it would be a good idea to go aheed and order a new harness and a exel ehc to put on the shelf because the wire plus wont last to long...may last a few years hopefully.

Yes ive done that and had success......so i know its not the starter .....if this module is crapped out what other module would you suggest ....cheers mr wright

I replaced the relay inside the module and no success

Your problems are most likely from the wires plus. I know that’s what you have and all but it’s just not good. If it doesn’t work it doesn’t work. Like Knothead suggested is the best option. Best of luck

I will have one last play with it today then if no luck i will get a new harness .......cheers for everyones input

This module also controls compression release..when i hit the start button it turns red....i have manual compression release so not using automatic CR ...WOULD THAT BE STOPPING POWER TO GREEN SOLENOID WIRE ......how could i bypass this

I see what your saying, it might need to complete that circuit to activate starter,,,, Question then would be how to fool it into thinking circuit is complete?

I just tested compression release wire .....i took the CR wire and connected it straight to 12 volt and it tried to spin the starter motor so im guessing this wire needs to be operational....so how do i hook up the CR wire if i dont have a ACR unit....i obviously dont want to have 12 v to my CR wire all the time ..but what if i hooked it into my starter button wire ...then it would only have power when the start button is pushed WILL THAT WORK?????
