What's happened here?

[danm54]

Ive been making the loom on my project bike and im fitting k-series clocks, got them wired up and working fine but the high beam and indy lights stay on all the time now. It happened suddenly when I wasn't even doing any wiring on the clocks.
Do they have a habit of doing this or have I caused this when wiring?

Dont want to replace them fir another set to do the same.




Cheers

give your wiring a check , I think its worth it . I have same clocks , think it could be a shared earth or some thing similar

There was 2 earths actually, pretty sure I joined them together as I couldn't see why there should be 2 but it did work to start with.

Where should the 2 earths go then?

I had a look at mine as i recently wired a set up to the slabby. Weirdly, the same thing happened tonight as i was having a poke about.

Now i've had these working for a while & it's never done this before. Maybe they're coming out in sympathy for yours. Admittedly, I haven't put the pins in connector blocks yet so they're flailing around loose so something could've touched to cause this? but i jiggled the loom about, cleaned the pins up & plugged them all back in, powered back up & hey presto things were back to normal.

I'm guessing you got it all wired in right as you said it just randomly happened.

At least its not just mine then!
I've cleaned up the connector and gave it a spray of WD40 but still no luck.

My wiring is the same as yours from what I remember, I didn't get the fuel light working so I've put some electrical tape over the LED in the clocks but it did work for a while after that.

The lights come on when its first powered up, then they go off while it does its check thing then they're back on again.

Neutral and oil pressure lights work fine as does the back light etc, the indy light dims when I turn the indy's on so I'm a bit stuck as to what it could be. I may try moving the loom about around the plug area and see what happens...
