If one of the conductors is red/black and the other white/black, this would reinforce my suspicions.

one is red with black... the other all black. or maybe brown because my garage is dark. :)

I know that style connector is used on many sidestand switches. But that shouldn't be there.
Odd.

Ya strange. And its never had anything plugged in to it by the look of the terminals. The bike is a low mile ride also, and hasn't been butchered up, so not something that was added. At first I assumed it was something to do with the ECM diag port... but researching this bike more, shows that its not.. maybe it is for a plug in error light...

Post by: malik on June 21, 2019, 08:37:23 AM: I've heard that some bikes have a connector next to the ECU one, and it connects to the dash functions. Don't know if that is one of those. First you'd have to have something to connect it to, then the software to read & write. Don't know if anyone's done that yet. Is there anything about it in the Service Manual for the Cali?

Ya could be. being a stone, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as some of the higher end EV models.

Intersting.. Not sure if that info carries over to a later bike with the small computer.. Mine has no light.

Post by: CharlieW on June 22, 2019, 06:22:18 PM: I believe it is a power cord
I removed mine when I had no use for it.
Mine went right back to battery connections

This one goes right into the main harness going to the computer. Next time I get in there Ill check for any voltage.

Post by: guzzisteve on June 23, 2019, 08:52:20 AM: I worked on an 03 Cali yesterday and it had that same connector with a cap on the plug, no clue. If it's a power plug, must be lower amps cause the wire is thin.
