I'm having a right nightmare sorting the wiring out on my LI.

Ignition is a honda type, but I've had different configurations given to me and none work.

Really could do with some help sorting this before I crack up.

Is it the universal switch (Honda copy, square body, rubber boot) ?

I've just wired one of these into a smallframe, I used the green & black/white on the switch... The lock had to be earthed (or fitted) to the frame....Also I had to remove the rubber boot and cut the loop wire on the back of the lock,mine was red but apparently they can be any colour you'll know which wire once you pull back the boot.

Hope this helps... Good luck

Still getting nothing. The whole set up is really confusing.

There's been so many combinations given, I don't even know what's what anymore!

1 diagram has ignition green as an earth, another to the green on the loom.
