Today I managed to get everything
working! I went to Maplins and bought
some 3A diodes for the indicators and hazards.
I used two diodes, one from left and one from right indicators, to get
the telltale working. This was needed
because I chose to use a single telltale; the diodes stop current activating
left indicators when turning right and vice versa.
I wired up the hazards using a diagram I
found on Locostbuilders. Again I needed
a diode to control the current. The
hazard telltale and indicator telltale both flash when the hazards are on. I still need to change the indicator feed to
a permanent one so the hazards will work when the ignition is off.
I
managed to sort the issue of the bikes neutral light thanks to information from
users on Locostbuilders. The blue/black
wire that I found yesterday is the negative from the LED. The +12V is being fed to the Neutral LED
from within the speedo. The blue/black
wire from the Neutral LED runs to the fuse box via a diode then into the Blue
wire to the Gear Sensor. When the Gear
Sensor is in the neutral position the blue is connected to the black/white wire
which runs to ground and completes the circuit to illuminate the neutral LED.
What
I had to do was feed the relay coil from a 12v feed and earth it to the
blue/black wire. Now when the bike is
in neutral the green light is on and the relay engages. I used this relay to activate the power to
the toggle on the reverse which ensures the reverse can only be activated when
the bike is in neutral.
I
also wired in a fan override switch. To
do this I simply ran a savage switch in parallel to the fan switch. I used the multimeter to confirm where the
12v feed was from and simply wired in the savage switch so it illuminates when
activated. The bike loom has a fan relay
so no need for another relay for the savage switch.
