Almost road ready... lighting problem though. By globetrotta (Read 545 times)

So I have a Jonway YY150T-2. It's taken a while to get it running, but now it finally is. The only problem I'm having is with the lighting. As I understand it, the headlights and tail lights are supposed to be on when the bike is running. They don't come on at all! However, my brights, brake lights, and turn signals all work. So my only issue seems to be with the running lights. I've looked at the wiring diagrams I found here, but honestly I'm not that good at understanding them, so any help you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If your brights work, you have power to the headlights. Check the filament for your low beams. The rear running light is the brown wire coming out from the tail-light, at least it's probably brown. Check the power to the brown wire. There are 2 filaments in the tail light bulb. The filament for the running tail light will burn out much faster than the brake light. I suspect you have burnt out bulbs in the front and back.

If not, the white wire up front is the low beam, the blue is the high beam. Brown wire in back is the tail light, your brake light wire is probably green and yellow. Remember, the headlights are AC. Your tail light could be either, but it is probably DC. I am pretty sure they all come on with the ignition switch, before you start the engine.
