My quest for rigging without a service manual continues. I am now at the dash...

It seems like the purple wire is "key on" (ignition), and I have been told before by MTCM that the tachometer send wire is gray.

Questions:

1. There is a tiny little black plastic thing close to the key switch on the harness which I assume it the warning buzzer. Correct?

2. How do I hook up a deadman button? If I remember correctly, it should ground the ignition system just like on a Yamaha, but which wire should be grounded?

3. What does the color brown mean? (There's a free brown connector at the engine side of the harness as well)

1). Yep, the "little black plastic thing" is the alarm buzzer.

2). See drawing for deadman (kill) switch.

3). Brown is the Trim Sender to Trim Gauge.

And yes, the Purple Wire is "switched" 12vdc.


See if this drawing will help..................:D
