Brake lights gpz 1100a1
09 Jun 2026 11:10
Oh i hate wiring! So ive got everything connected and working even the fuel gauge ive got a spark only thing left is the front brake switch cable needs shortning ( there’s a long cable on the brembo) so i cut it crimp some proper jap spec bullets on and check everything is working! No brake light from front or back brakes, the digital display is blank but everything else works, the bulbs haven’t blown either.

So I thought i was finished with the wiring but I found another problem, i had checked everything except the front indicators I couldn’t see how there would be a problem since they are on a sub loom, but both front indicators are on constant they do flash when used but stay lit up when off ,the back are fine ,any ideas?
