My driver's side all of a sudden stopped popping up. Passenger side works.
If I manually crank it up, it will go down when the switch turns off but wont pop up when on. All the lights work. When I started looking at the wires a couple of the connection opened and now I.m not sure what connects to what. I have 2 hot wires that seem to have been connected to each other. I used google and site search. No luck. Does anyone have a schematic of just this isolated area? I found some diagrams but they don't indicate what color wires. Need to know which wire coming off the motor goes where.... |

Bumping this up again. Still have this issue. Is there any easy diagram anywhere that shows what color wire goes where? All the diagrams I see just show lines but dont say what color the wires are and where they go....

I had exactly the problem you describe, my fault was a faulty relay.

I matched the wire to the other side but have extrra power wires when the switch is pulled.
Relay is good, motor cycles....always to closed position.   |

Are the small diodes still connected ? I just went through this. Look on the outer side of the HL motor; see the black coverings ? The diodes is inside that black piece.
Look at the far left side; there maybe two-can’t remember Attached thumbnail(s)
