Hello there, need help got a project

[Mattyboi]

I have a electrical fault with my speedo lights, i have replaced all bulbs as this bike is a project and needed some of them work (i think the other connectors need new ones) but basically all of the light stay on when the ignition is set to full or (engine on and lights on). So for example i put the ignition to the third position and all the speedo lights, light up including the oil, indicators, the full beam, the engine temp, the fuel light.

I know for a fact they shouldn't all light up when the ignition is all the way on. Now i will have a look tomorrow in the day light, but i don't fancy re-wiring the speedo light wires or having to strip them out and replace them, could this be a problem with some relay that shows the lights to be on when they need to, i.e the fuel when its low or the oil when its low.

When the ignition is at the second position though (engine on but not headlights) none of the lights show up even the indicators when i switch them on, there is nothing.

Now my oil is at its full, my fuel is full, my full beam is showing on even when full beam is on dipped and my engine would be cold but all the lights stay on.

Surely at least the indicator speedo light should flash when indicators are on but they just stay on, even when indicators are off. The only other thing i can think if is the brake switch is missing which im replacing next week after re-building the master cylinder i realised it had no brake switch, would this make the speedo lights short out or affect the connection?

Sorry for the vague crappy description of my problem but it all i could explain it as.

Thanks, Matt

In fairness that is better than the first attempt

As per the replies in the other thread check for a bad earth, any corroded looking joints or loose connections.

Is this with the bike running or just switched on? All of the circuits are remote to each other so it will not be one relay. If you let people know the make and model they can take a look at wiring diagrams to give an educated response.

My guess is that it is a Chinese moped.

I'm pretty sure the main problem is that your chain is slack.

Either that, or you have the wrong powerband fitted and/or it's leaking. Get a new pink one from halfords if adjusting the chain doesn't help.

As most bike wiring is pretty basic stuff,
I reckon your best bet is to let someone who knows what they're
doing have look at it for 'a drink'

Somehow I get the impression a RTFM wont help you.
Even if you let folk now what bike it is ( it oftens helps you know)
a 'project' usually means someone's been fuckin about with it and

unless you clearly and painstakingly describe what mods/bodges you've done,
the slack chain suggestion is probably as good advice as you'll get.
