brake light switch
 
This tee isn't attached the frame,or anything. Just a 4-way tee with 4 hoses, 1 to the back, 1 to each front wheel, and 1 to the master cylinder.
thanks for your trouble

Then I'm at a loss on this one! Because the 94 has it on the back side of the tee!! ! can't remember back that far (91 model) even with help on the parts breakdown?? :huh: Plus the only wiring coming from the brake master cylinder is the reverse over ride button! OPT

HOLD ON!! Me thinks the 91-93 just had the tail light only!! the 91 I think(check yours) is a single filament bulb! The 94 is when the brake light switch was added as a "safety" feature on Polaris atvs and used a double filament bulb!! Hope I'm right on this one:) OPT

It didn't have a light when i got it. has 2 wires,1 is powered when you turn the key on. guessed the other one was the brake. traced the wire to the junction block by the left side of the handle bars

Two wires is just for a tail light that I finally noticed on the schematic!(ground wire and power wire) the original bulb was a small stick in single filament bulb sort of like the indicator bulbs on the dash for gear position. The 94 model does have the pressure switch and used a double filament plug in bulb and has a three wire tail light connector! Its been a LONG time since I've even seen an old 1991 model and hard to remember everything! I also finally remembered it was a required up date for the simple fact if someone was following they could see the brake light! If you have the later replacement tail light assy only the tail light will work. (you would have to change the brake line block,install the pressure sensor and find a later model harness to have the brake light!) OPT
