Electric wizards I need you!!
Ok so the only thing getting power is the Sambo cluster and alarm. Headlight, signals, brake, electrical start and horn are all dead in the water. I tried re-plugging in every wire up front and under the seat and redid the fuse connection.
This all came and went yesterday when the bike wouldn’t on random wouldn’t button start and then next stop for a soda break it would. Today it’s not Cooperating by any means. Kickstart got me home but zero lights or signals. What to do, I have a light pen and every wire connected to the battery is a glow. I tried my back up CDI but that didn’t help. I blame humidity for this! Pre thank yous on any reply’s

Really not enough info to help with ,but I would start at the starter solenoid connections if you are already confident the battery connections are good .

Is there maybe a main ground that should be connected to a certain place on the bike?

I checked the large connect wire running to the starter housing and it looks brand spanking new under the rubber grommet. It’s something shared by the entire stock electrical system. All the aftermarket parts are getting consistent full power.

I also checked the only know fuse on the bike and it’s getting power at both ends.

Try pressing the lightning key on your alarm 2 or more times without key in ignition
What happens? It should just turn the bike on fully but if an AC ignition system you’ll need to turn ignition on to turn off the immobilizer/kill at ignition barrel Let me know what happens |

Let me know Auto start is something that maybe disconnected Again it all depends how it’s wired up and this might or might not be the issue Sounds almost like you have a black wire broken in left side switch gear The black is ign power to all things on left switch Also the start has a black ign wire that’s live if ign on You should be testing those n see where the fault is I’d say at a guess sitting here in china which isn’t an accurate diagnosis that the issue is in that wire and you have a break maybe at the point where they all meet somewhere maybe in the loom |

Another thing you can try
Orange from alarm is ignition on so drop that into the black wire at brake switch or flasher can Black is ign on orange is the alarm turning ign on from another location This might give a hint to the issue If it turns on with alarm via brake switch you have a break somewhere in the loom toward the front This might also help to just fix it short term to use the bike Alarm can turn ign on and use the key as this might give you enough to use the bike correctly |

Problem here is the bike never would never start or turn off electrically w/o the alarm connected.

Every time you turn the key on/off the alarm chirps. If you turn the alarm on/off with the keychain fab it chirps. If you try to steal the bike it yells at you. Alarm is working normal just like dash cluster. Autostart doesn’t work on this EBay alarm and never did. Welcome to the ghetto ha!

Maybe even the alarm wasn’t installed correct I suggest moving away from the keyboard n going to your bike and testing where or where not you have 12v at all black wires on your bike with ign on |

Alarm is pleasantly disconnected now.

What I need to know I believe is where does the lights, electric start and signals tap in to the main power at. Power is getting to the digital dash just fine, it even knows that the headlight isn’t on since I keep it on high beam always.
