Electrical issues
So I am almost finish with the 'widow maker' project and go to see if she starts and it wants to sooo bad but no :o( Well the battery is probaly toast but it was on a charger so ok it should start, replaced spark plugs but then something odd happens...I replaced my OEM taillights with 'clear alternatives' intergrated signals and for some reason they are clikcing then when I hit my high beams I can hear the fuel pump reset hmmm. So I go touching wires and it seems ot be something going on in the yellow harness near the headlights. Any clue what that is and is there a wiring diagram for it? This is what is slowing the finishing touches up so hopefully I can resolve this soon and finally get to ride her.. Oh I took the pics of it finished :o)

The wiring diagram should be in the manual that's in the File Vault. On the TLR version its all the way in the back under chapter called:Servicing Info.
As for the turn signals, you probably made a short circuit putting it on. Take it back off and see what happens so you're sure you put it on right.
I also have a clear alternatives w/indicators rear light like you have and it uses a common ground, the indicators (yellow wires on mine) you use only the + iirc.

The yellow connector is known for corroding which causes bad connections which causes heat which causes melted wire insulation and connector. I reckon you may be somewhere along that process right now. Pull it apart and have a look at all the connectors and go from there.

yeah it is kind of wierd because when I hit the high beams the fuel pumps resets/primes? Also with your 'clear alternatives' tail light does it have like a yellow light when braking (kind of a design signal) if that makes sense before it goes solid braking?
Ok if it is th eyellow box connection what can be done possibly reconnect the wires or can I buy a connection box.

I don't think so, I think it goes straight to bright red. The yellow lights are the indicators so they should only come on when signalling. I can check to make sure I usually don't watch my brakelight, I know from the reflection that it works.

i had a similar problem with the yellow harness where my headlights would not come on but all other instruments and lights were fine and the damn thing was fairly hot...so i simply bought some good electrical connectors and bypassed the harness altogether...no more problems...dont know if you can buy the harness...

A bit late maybe but I checked the brake lights on my Clear Alternatives rear light and it comes on instantly, no yellow (indicator) lights come on before braking.

I pulled the harness.. yeah some major issues. a black wire wit a white stripe has some of the insulation stripped and bare wiring showing that got fixed then some other harnesses had the same issues so i fixed those and she good to go except now having issues getting it into nuetral while coming from 2nd gear either it is my sneakers and I am bypassing N going into 1st. It does go into N when the engine starts and shift into 1st then I have to play footsie with the shifter lol... I am going to play around with the cluch cable adjuster and see.
