headlight bulb was burned out on reg...only worked on brights so replaced headlight bulb with new on and it is not working as it should since it should always be on and the bright is activated with the button but it is only working when the bright button is on....all other lights work though....bike must be running to have any lights

Thanks I will look for that as soon we get his wired correctly....meth heads of which one of them are in jail for shoplifting in Walmart and he used my scooter to get their so when cops arrested him he had my scooter and he was caught but the girl that sat in library pretending to use scooter next to me to get my keys and get the scooter key off and replace them is really the one I want busted too! They messed it so bad....cut wires, wrecked it. broke seat, back carry rack, added another thousand miles on it...it had 802 when I last checked got it back with 2206! Dummy took out ignition for whatever reason and left a open hole which made it obviously stolen or I wouldn't have it today! Wondering why they took of the kick starter and figuring out all other issues is making me madder and madder. it will be alarmed..what I do when I see someone messing with it depends on age! This is ridiculous!

kick start was removed when we got it back from the tow where the police found it from those idiots...the solenoid gives spark and engages starter but we got new ignition and it will not let us use the yellow start button to start it with the ignition key...they used a kill switch they wired to the starter...ill send some pics we believe it was stolen with the key as key was stolen too from my keychain while I was at printer in library...crafty thieves! wire that was hanging in the tail light area are to the licnese plate light and were sure are no longer part of our issue We are wandering if something went bad when they had the scooter causing them to do the hot wrie button thing as they couldn't find out what went bad...we cant either... husband and me going to ignition testing and starting there..yesterday spend time on stator and CDI but got no answers...he has bike all apart everywhere so taking pictures would be a mess but ill take them if you tell me what I should take them of...ILL put few on here and tell you what they are but he has a mess I cant understand... ![]() not sure you can get the pics this way..ill work on that one too! |

Do you have a break down of the AC CDI? This is what husband is muttering and looking at all the wiring diagrams in the library....

Husband is still in the figuring out wire stage and has his multi meter toy! The loose wire that is hanging by the right tail light is what we are trying to figure out and thinking this is why the new ignition wont let us have use of the start button....this wire is hanging there connected to nothing but the plastic piggy that could plug into something...there is two green wires in this darn thing and the wires are all right and working for the brake light and the two turn signal lights...could this be a wire that never went anywhere so we are at a dead end looking for its connection?

Thank you so much for this info regarding brake light and solenoid as there was a wire hanging back there that we wondered where it went and now to find this piece of info and the color wiring diagram....I know it is going to run now with the ignition! I am so grateful and cant wait to tell you it runs....this is the best thing I have found for my scooter and to have so many people here that know about them and love them too! Thanks

Thank you! Me and my husband are looking at this awesome wiring diagram and he said that when he was fixing the taillight he saw a plug they had just left hanging there close to the left turn signal area in the rear brake light assemble and they had taken a brown extesntion cord to wire battery to the kill switch and the new button they put in since they took out my ignition. When he got new ignition he saw that the ignition plug he replaced.....the old ignition plug left in by starter had a 5 wiring fit and then new one had four however the 5th terminal goes nowhere and has nothing in the area so he is thinking the starter relay to the starter is where the problem is....What could a 2 prong wire with a male end be hanging in the back by the taillight(left taillight)? He is now wondering if the wire in question back there goes to the starter solenoid and then to battery then to starter button and this is what the problem is ? I hope I made sense....Hubby is so happy to see this color diagram you posted and we will be looking on here daily and posting progress looking at everything here....Love the scooter but have to get it running again and then ill be wanting to find some ideas to make sure it si never stolen again since a lock chain didn't work!Thanks for all the hlep

Thanks for reply! Its a TaoTao 2013 ATM50-A Since they used the extension cord they wired it to starter and to battery to toggle switch...put in new ignition and the start button is not working and I think they bypassed that and cant find the wire that goes to it so need to find out if it has been cut out or missing or is the switch just broke? Prior to ignition being put back in all the lights horn and so forth worked but when trying to put it back together correctly with new ignition and use the starter switch like it was made it will not work and don't know if it is bad, missing etc....tracking down all the wires seems to be best solution to find what is where and what needs to be and what don't. |

I want to post where I should so I think I am in right spot with my scooter and cc....50? I am looking for the wiring diagram for this and I have posted this in two other spots before I understood what it was telling me to do in the new to the scooter doc forum so I am putting it here too! Sorry if annoying anyone with my same question in wrong spots...so basically what I have here is my dependable scooter that I was using as convenient and cost effective means of travel until it was stolen and a month later recovered by the police. I wont bore you all with the details of that but will post before they stole it pics and after they stole it pics....they did a number on it considering it had only 802 miles on it when they stole it and 2211 when I got it back! My main issue is that they bypassed the ignition and ignition starter switch to not need the key or starting button on the handlebar and now we got all the parts and there is a issue with the new ignition not being able to plug in and make it work! It plugs in the wire harness fine and still will not start turnover nothing. They used brown extension cord to run from starter to battery and toggle switch under seat area to start it when the kill switch is on off position! I need a wiring diagram to this scooter to find out what they bypassed and cut out and all that fun aggravating stuff! Please help me find it! I will post in the right spots now that I seem to understand the 'rules for organization'. |

I looked in library but not sure if any of the ones mentioned would be the same for mine. I am new to this website and don't want to bother anyone with any of my annoying questions but I do love this scooter and was using it for my only transportation especially with gas being so high. I would greatly appreciate and advice, direction, ideas and any other comments that anyone wants to share with me on this scooter! I just couldn't believe I even got it back so I am attached!

I had my scooter for under a year when it was stolen even though it was chained to a bike rake at a public library....thought I would never see it again but was so happy when I had to pay the 100.00 to get it out of tow yard since the police had recovered it from the thief. I was not very happy when I saw it though....nightmare but I found the parts needed and it was time to put it back together but thing is that the person who stole it for some reason spliced into the wiring to make it start without the ignition and the key and the starter button....its a ATM50-1 Tao Tao by the way...So now were putting the ignition back on it and trying to figure out what is the problems but we cant figure out some of the wiring regarding the starter button located under kill switch on the right handle throttle bar...they bypassed it for some reason as it is seeming that perhaps the button may have went out on them and they took extension cord and ran it to starter to battery and under seat made a starter switch that works when you put the kill switch to the on position! I really need the wiring to this thing so that we can find out how to put the starter or ignition switch...yellow button....back together to start it with the key and get rid of their extension cord starter generic wiring that now starts with their push button...any ideas on where to find it?
