Need some help with the wiring on my wife's 2002 SXR 600. Before we bought the sled I guess it was introduced to a barb wire fence and ripped off the gauge pods , windsheild, etc. It was fixed up with new parts except for the wiring. It is all there except for the wire for the light. Last year I found a small light that would fit and tied it into some of the wires from the tach. Light worked and lost the heat grips. Go figure. Does anyone know if I can jump accross to the light from the speedo and tie into that wire. I need to know which is the power and which is the ground.
Yamaha wants a fortune for little wiring harness, at least here in Canada . Would even take a broken tach as long as the wires are good.

Anybody have a old tack even from a 97 or something. Should still be the same wiring harness but a smaller guage.

All of the backlights in the cluster share the same power.

There is a cluster in the speedo and one on the tach. Do you think I can get the power from the speedo side fo the tack bulb.

O.K lets try another approach. Can someone take a good picture of the back of there tach. This way I can see where the wires are going. The wiring diagram sucks. I have 2 brown wires on the back of the tach and they are not in the diagram as far as I can see. I think the light should have a black and a blue wire attached to it. I have one loose black wire in the harness and I need to know where the blue one would go. I don't see any other wires cut or missing.

You had me screwed up because you were talking about a single pod. The harness is different between the single pod and the dual gauges. I re-wired my single pod to duals.

What are the colors you have at the conection. Look on the diagram (B)

Yes it is 2 single pods. I didn't realize the 97 was wired as one. One speedo and one tach. they each have their own short wiring harness. I went to Ronnies web site to try and get a picture to post but no can do. Won't let me copy It is number 6 for the wiring harness but does not give any colors..Anyway there is three black wires that join into one further down the harness. One blue, 2 brown that join into one and some others that I can't remember. All the wires from the tach join up to fit into a 4 pin blue connector.
I am trying to get number 38 on the wiring diagram to work. I assume the one black wire left in the harness that was taped up last year was part of the light but the guy did not replace the harness. I guess he didn't really want the light . Looking at the speedo there is a light in there that has a black and blue wire in them. I took the speedo harness cover off and they are connected blue to blue and black to black. So I went back to the tach harness and there is no extra blue wire or even evidence of one existing for the light
Last year I joined the black wire to one from the light and the other wire off the light to a brown wire. I got power to the light but lost power to the heat grips.
I was thinking of trying the other wire to the blue wire that is on the back and held in place by a screw.

Going to the blue wire didn't work either. Looks like any Vmax from 99 and up had the same part number for the short tach wiring harness. Anybody out there have one kicking around, even a screwed tach, just need the harness.
