Alright guys, got under the tank to take a look at the wiring, not as bad as I thought. The JST connector that goes to the led cluster has two wires pulled out and they will not lock back in. I’ve spread the wire clip and tried both ways. New connector or push back in a super glue wire to connector…….

I would use new connectors but thats just me. Finding the problem is the hardest part.

Don’t be to upset if when you change the connector that the cluster still doesn’t work. None of those work on my 2000 even though everything else works & looks perfectly fine. I am just guessing but you own a ‘04 mastiff?

I’m going to test the pinouts today with power and verify before I go any further. I’m unable to find just the connector itself, only the harness. 04 pitbull

Anyone know if Second Chance Customs (knothead) is still open? I’ve tried the number on their Facebook and it’s disconnected.
Not sure if you can send private messages yet… I think there’s a certain amount of messages posted in the forum that has to be reached before you can send PM’s. I could be wrong & probably am but I recall it happened to me when I first joined. I think Wood explained it to me or Eric. Anyway I’m sure Knot will find out you are trying to contact him.
:cheers:

I would not use the EHC, or the replacement onces.... I would re wire it basic and have reliable bike ha.

My 04 is hard wires no ECH. just a ignition, on key, and rear brake light. High beams always on... no turns ha

On the homestretch, new Axel EHC, Harness and she has spark! I’ve taken the time to go through entire bike a service/fix all the small things it needed. Last step, brakes. I installed all the calipers and bleed. Found out rear one needs rebuilt. Pistons are hanging and causing severe drag. I’ve ordered a kit from HDM but does anyone know if any other seals/orings are readily available that fit? Trying to ride tomorrow and new kit from HDM won’t be here until next week. Fingers crossed.

Well technically you can ride without a rear brake. Glad you got it figured out. Ride on brother.
