sam93 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Off the top of my head, I know that the purple is the 12v supply to flash the headlights. This connects to the brown coming from the stalk. (Make sure that this contact is clean, otherwise you'll get a nice burning smell on first use, from the years of not being used or cleaned.)The purple/black is the feed to the horn switch, wherever this maybe.The blue could be the main supply for dipped/full beam going to the stalk. Standard triumph didn't always seem to follow their own colour codes... or someone has changed it for what they had around at the time.Hope it helps,Sam. Quote
HMaze Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 The older stalks had a brown/red wire from the main light switch to the stalk. Later were blue.So brown/red (stalk) goes on blue (main harness).Small brown to purple.Harry Quote
stevegt6 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 OK....so, based on above...Blue/Red (stalk) - Blue/Red (Harness)Blue/White (Stalk) - Blue/White (Harness)Brown (Stalk) - Blue (Harness)Thin Brown (Stalk) - Purple (Harness)Anyone disagree..... worse case scenario is blown fuse - not death lol.Purple/Black (Harness) - Horn...to be determined yet Quote
stevegt6 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 Well, i have working lights...the thicker brown was actually brown/red.One question though - when switching on high beam, should the stalk be flicked to the up position (dipped - the stalk in the lower position)cant remember....CheersSteve Quote
sam93 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 On my gt6 mk3, the stalk is down for dipped & up for full beam. Seems logical to me, however may not be correct. Sam. Quote
