ok i went out and pulled apart the rear plastics and to make a long story short, my tail light is working!!!!!! now i still have a left over yellow at the brake light on both the bike side and light side. these go together for what i am assuming is the brake light function. now where would the wiring for the brake light come from. hand brake? foot brake? i see two black wires with plastic covering over them coming from the hand brake (they are cut also). I reconnected them but have no brake light function still. any insight?

thanks for the responses. as im looking at the diagram. it looks as if the blue from the votage regulator goes to a yellow. would it make more sense for the blue wire from the regulator in my pic to go to the yellow wire. the diagram also states that one blue wire and one black wire are left for the tail light operation. if i plug the two blues together this leaves me with a yellow and black for the tail light (not the same as the diagram). does this seem right???

Hi, I am new to the forum and was hoping for some technical help. I have a very good understanding of wiring and am more than capable of making electrical repairs. Iam however not too familiar with the banshee electrical system and more or less what is supposed to be where. I purchased this 2002 banshee a couple months ago and I am attempting to tackle the light wiring mess first. I purchased a replacement tail light, I began testing the wires under the grab bar. I have no A/C current and no D/C current , nothing from any of those wires. I did some research and found the wiring under the seat from the lighting coil to be cut. I metered the wiring there and I A/C current about 20v to 38v depending on rpm. My question is where to these wires (black and yellow) go. I see the voltage regulator under the grab bar, it is grounded but nothing is plugged into the blue lead. Here are some pics. Thanks in advance - Bob
