I "acquired" an 80 or 81 xs (can't remember year) and I wanted to use the existing wiring to see if I can get it running before I continue with the build.
What's shown is the wiring I am dealing with.
I see an apparent ground cable, but what I have boggles my mind. There is a R/W wire, Blue (L)/ W wire, and a red wire with red insulation around it.
From what I can tell from the wiring diagram in the shop manual is that those wires seem to go to the battery and starter switch, but I don't see a starter switch and there isn't a real apparent Red wire to go to the positive side of the battery.
Also attached is a 6 hole plug routing towards the back of the back with what seems to be the wiring that goes to the turn signals. So is the plug for the tail light?
Without ever being around these before I don't know what I have and what I do have, and what exactly I am missing.
Does the plug go to the tail light?
Am I missing a starter switch?
Does the suspected Red wire with insulation around it go to the battery while the R/W wire and Blue (L)/W wire go to a starter switch that I don't seem to have?
Help me with my confusion! Lol
Looks like I can't attach files from my phone, I'll submit the pics in a second.
