charge light / ignition light

Post by theredbaron »

Hi everyone

I have almost finished my GT550 (1974) but have an issue with the red ignition light not working, it seems to be connected to a relay in the headlight bowl but the red and yellow wire is not connected to anything, I cant find it on wiring diagrams, can anyone enlighten me.

If there's an ignition light, it's aftermarket. That's why it not on the diagram.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Or you have a GT185 tach, I don't think any other model has charge/ignition light.

correct on both the last 2 posts. neutral light, yes, ignition/charging [red] light, no. if you really want to wire it in, look in a gt185 wiring diagram, but whether it will work or not? btw, the t10 also had the charging light :D
