BlownSVT03 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Posted September 5, 2012 I put the 2 black wires together to get rid of my key switch. Weird you said that because on my bike there together and I still used the key before Quote
guns4children Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Maybe someone tried to hotwire it but failed? You live it where someone could fuck with it without you knowing? Quote

Starwriter Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Weird you said that because on my bike there together and I still used the key before So, the red/black wire is connected to the black wire and you wonder why the key won't shut it off? DUH!!! Quote
BlownSVT03 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Posted September 7, 2012 So, the red/black wire is connected to the black wire and you wonder why the key won't shut it off? DUH!!! Ok now I'm confussed, I'm out of town as soon as I get back I will check it out. Quote
guns4children Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Lol try and start it with the key off Quote
BlownSVT03 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 Ok so the black white stripe wire is not working as I thought... I'm still having the same problems from the beginning... I checked the switches they look fine, removed the wiring harness from the frame to insure. No breaks any where! I noticed the back light is not working now... Does this seem like the CDI box is messed up?? Quote
1CrazyBastard Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Do both switches have a good ground ? If you look at the diagram and trace it sounds to me like a grounding issue on the black wire Quote
BlownSVT03 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 Do both switches have a good ground ? If you look at the diagram and trace it sounds to me like a grounding issue on the black wire Following the diagram its suppose to ground to the stator and cdi box correct? If correct then yes they have a good ground. Quote
1CrazyBastard Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Well i am new to the Banshee world myself and not overly familiar with it yet. However I am an outboard engine tech and all I do all summer is diagnostics on engines and it seems to me like its gotta be a grounding or wrimg issue as both switches are unlikely to be bad at once .Check the switches with a good meter and make sure they do what they are suppose to all the way thru the harness and I bet you'll find it Quote

Starwriter Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Unplug the CDI box. Connect your multimeter to the black and black/white wires at the CDI connector. Your multimeter should show open circuit with the kill switch in the run position and just a few ohms of resistance in the stop position. If you don't have that, then things are not OK. Quote
BlownSVT03 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 I will try that next.. I have a feeling it's the CDI box, I'm about to just buy the wireharness CDI box and switches and scrap the rest! Quote
Starwriter Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Jesus tapdancing Christ. There's nothing wrong with your CDI. Remember this post? "So I took a second shot at grounding the wire and it shut off " Quote
