Heres the situation, I ripped the headlight pod off off my 06 -efi and am a little lost where to reconnect some of the wires.
First the 2 wires going to the cig lighter adapter were off. Does the hot wire connect to the side or the bottom of the lighter? Yellow is hot, brown is ground.
2nd, I found a 3 prong adapter laying loose w/ brown/green/blue wires in it and cant seem to find where it connects????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

I have an '05 800. If I remember right, the brown (ground) goes to the side of the lighter and mine is orange w/white stripe (hot) at the base. I don't have a three prong with those same colors. I have a three prong sealed red/white/black that (again, if I remember correctly) operates the speedo and runs to smaller plug on the back of the gauge. Beyond that, I have the large plug to the gauge and two lines that run to the work light switch. Besides the ignition, I think that is all of the stock wiring that I have running to anything in the pod. If I get the chance to actually look at mine, I will try to find a plug like described. Have you got all of the plugs hooked up on the gauge and switch? The ignition?

 

Hey Lawdog,

I think that connector your talking about (3 pin) is for the "speedo diagnostic", and it doesn't connect to anything. I don't have the schematic with me to confirm the color coding though. I know both of mine have a 3 wire connector that isn't attached to anything, but they are down in front of the pod under the access panel.

 

You guys rock. The 3 prong connector is the only one that I cant find a place to plug in and the lcd works good without it connected to anything, so You are probably right. And also thanks for the info on the lighter [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

yes the hot wire goesd on the bottom and the ground goes on the side.

 

I didn't think about the diagnostics plug. I didn't get the chance to take a look at mine. Thanks. Let us know when you get it back up SPYDEY.

 

Thanks again for the help guys!!! It seems to be working all right now. Im just waiting on my headlight and black lower pod piece to get it all back together. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

So how did you manage to rip off the pod ?

 

First off, I got it all back together and working smoothly. As far as breaking it off, I was going down a dirt road....about 2 weeks ago, doin about 55, rounded a bend a there was a tree laying across the road. All I can say is ouch!!! I hit the brakes and skidded into the tree and the quad stopped and I kept going. Where I skidded, the tree was farther off the ground. I dont know how I managed to only rip off the pod and not hurt anything else. Upon closer inspection, I missed the cpu box by about 1.5 inches. My ribs are still sore and my knee is just starting to feel better. But my quad is ok lol. All I had to replace was the pod bottom and the headlight. To my amazement though, when I went to pick up the stuff today, there was a brand new bulb installed in the headlight so that save me SOME money.
