Sierra switches to bike loom?
eznfrank - 13/4/10 at 05:50 PM

I'm just doing the final bits of wiring - somehow, everything else is working so far but now I'm onto the various switches and I'm a bit lost!!

I've got a fairly standard ZX12 loom albeit extended as neccesary, which still has all the original relays for the lights, indicators etc.

I have the sierra column switches and intend to use them for just indicators, hazards and hi/lo beam. I've got the correct key to the switch gear but I'm not certain exactly which bit does which. I have the following spare terminals -

15 - Brown earth
56b - Brown/white (dip beam relay)
56 - Brown/black (earth feed to 56 on other stalk)
54 - Black Switched +ve supply
R - Black/green RH indicators
H30 - Red Permanent +ve
49 - Black/red Flasher relay
L - Black/White LH Indicators
49a - Black/White flasher relay
H - ?

31b1 - Brown/White Switched +ve
30 - Red Switched +ve feed
58 - Slate side lights
56 - Brown black earth feed to 56 on other stalk
31 - Brown flying lead to earth

Any clues? I'm totally lost on this one

Alternatively I could just sack all that off and use Savage switches if that's easier? I only say that because I bought 5 (fog, fan, horn and 2 blanks) and I can't remember why I got the horn and 2 blanks!! So I could swap them or just get new lenses??

Cheers mate, much appreciated. In pic 2 I get the pins but not sure what the components are?

Edit to add, I get the flasher relay but the other two earthed components at the bottom?

Edit again _ I'm such a moron, they just go to the bulbs?

I think I might be asking these swicthes to do something other than what they were designed for - on the zx12 diagram I have:

Left indicator connects green and orange
Right indicator connects orange and grey
Hazards just connect all three

Hi beam connects blue/yellow to red/black
Lo beam connetcs blue/yellow to red/yellow

yep its that easy.

The flasher bit is also easy. its just switching an earth.

Only thing is I have no permanent or switched +ve feeds?

Ok, obviously I do but not in my ZX12 wiring diagram if I'm to keep all but the switches standard?
