Mirrors-Turn Signal wiring

[poochar]

Hello I have a US-spec Downtown 300i .....
Replaced mirrors and trying to wire up turn signals to inside the
headlamp lens location. I see the wires for the turn signals on the
BIKE side are already run in both connectors to the headlamps .......
however only the left side (orange wire) seems to flash. Right side
(blue or gray wire(?)) does not work with my 12 volt light probe.
(wires that ran to mirrors are unplugged)
Any advice?

Thanks,
Eric

OK .... my bad .......
The ground my test probe was clipped to did not work on right
side (clipped to green ground wire on right connector)
WORKING!

Thanks.....

Been there, done that. Retraining as required. You have me interested! You say the flashing wiring is in place on US models? What else must you do to get the lights to work?

Hey Karl,
Yeah .... too good to be true (even the bulbs are there!)
On the headlamp side the ground wires already go into
the lamp socket BUT the signal wires (orange on left and
blue on right) are tied to the grounds on each side (you need to
cut sleeve tubing away to get here)  I cut the signal wires from the
ground junction, soldered and heat shrinked longer wires to them....
crimped a male push on connector.

Bike side I cut the orange and blue wires out of each connector ...
crimped on a female connector.

Added my lying around Triumph Scrambler mirrors........

  canadian model    1911 downtown   the bulbs where in but both wires cut  and left hanging ,  so I wired them in to riding lights , the wires from the mirror turn sygnals to small for regular lights I thought,
