Remove the front fende r (page 3-6),
Remove the combination meter 14P (Gray) connec-
tor from the frame and disconnect
it.
Check the fo llowing at the wire harness side con-
nector.
POWER INPUT UNE
Measure the voltage between the Black/brown wi re
terminal
(+)
and ground
H.
There should be battery voltage with the ignition
switch turned to ON .
If there is no voltage, check for an open circuit in the
wire harness.
BACK· UP VOLTAGE LINE
Measu re the voltage between the Red/bl ack wire
terminal (+) and ground H.
There should be battery voltage at all times.
If there is no voltage, check for an open circuit in the
wire harness.
GROUND UNE
Check for continuity between the Green wire termi-
nal and ground .
There should be continuity at all times.
If there is no voltage, check for an open circuit in the
