I don't have a remote starter or alarm. There is no separate headlight switch other than the high beams and passing switch controls on the handler bars. I will recap what I have done.
Everything disconnected from the front end of the wiring harness, that means headlights, instrument panel, ignition switch, CDI, rectifier, diode, left and right handle bar controls, signal flasher, horn, fan.
I pulled all the crappy electrical tape off of every wire bundle, inspected the full length of each wire from the spade type connector to the point where it enters the plastic tube to go to the back of the scooter. Inspected every spade connector, both halves of the connection. For every spliced wire I took the tape off and checked the crimped connections, they were all crimped good and tight, then re-taped them. No issues found with any wires or connections. Inspected the fuse box and the wires going into it. All looks good. There are 3 15a fuses and 1 10a fuse. The 10a fuse must control the lighting circuit because the lights go out when I pull that fuse.
There are some more harness connections on the right rear, where you guys with the 250b's have your cdi, rectifier, and diode. (The Vog has all three of those located up front) These connections all look good.
The only thing I have not inspected at this point is the tail light. I have to remove all that plastic surrounding the seat box to get to those connections. That is the only plastic still on the scooter. I wonder if there is a second diode back there...
I've also wondered if having an open connection could do this, so I've reconnected everything up front and even switched a couple of things that use the same type of connectors even though the number of spades used or color of the wires is different. Nothing helps.
