gl1200 interstate rear lights question please! - steelhorseangel - 04-07-2013 hi wingers greetings from across the pond! my name is angel and I'm a lady winger! my dad was called eric, he taught my brothers and i too ride and wrench. to maintain our own bikes. sadly dad is now in the happy hunting ground (44) and he rides on my shoulder, as my guardian angel! I've now bought my relative norman his first Goldwing as a 70th birthday present. he doesn't ride, he has bad balance. i bought his dream bike as a gift. i was rear end shunted in '04 and laid up with full back injuries. i don't have any family, or partner. he did my shopping, chores, admin, everything without complaint! payback time from me, with love! norman smiled from ear to ear on being presented with his wing keys! **** lights problem **** former 14 owners butchered the wiring. we've restored a few bikes now. we took the fairing and luggage off to see the skeleton. acquired a color schematic and repaired the birds nest wiring. it's all factory now. :-) all the front lights work. the rear lights are more than I'm used too. the trunk lights needed rewiring. the po's cut into these. all repaired properly with correct colors and heat shrinks! all the lights on the trunk work. two circuits found, main tail light and stop/brake light. q) do each of the saddle bags also have a tail light and a stop/brake light too? q2) are there any other connections other than the three harnesses at the rear to make all lights 'daisy chain' and light up please? the po's had a single wire earth/ground going from inside the trunk fix hole screw, going down to the licence plate? is this oem wiring or po's botched job? q3) the brake lights don't work front or rear. the dashboard shows a rear tail warning message. I've not checked the rear light fuse (15A!) relay switches, work in progress. does anyone know how many relay switches should be on the gl1200 interstate please? i don't where they should be located? many thanks for helping me wingers! kind regards Angel :-) uk x RE: gl1200 interstate rear lights question please! - SIR tricky - 04-07-2013 The Interstate trunk had no lighting as you can see by the diagram it was an option. Also the following diagrams Brake light relay 84 self cancel RE: gl1200 interstate rear lights question please! - steelhorseangel - 04-07-2013 hi tricky thanks for your reply! mine has, the po's must've had them installed. I've a long trunk light on the top. the bottom of the trunk has a tail and stop lights! q) does the trunk connect to one harness? then the two saddle bags to two other harness's only? many thanks angel (04-07-2013, 03:30 AM)steelhorseangel Wrote: hi wingers RE: gl1200 interstate rear lights question please! - SIR tricky - 04-07-2013 There should be a plug there brown, green, green/yellow RE: gl1200 interstate rear lights question please! - mancrypt - 04-11-2013 Mine has that option and works.Curious about the option on the interstate if it was factory or an add?
