WIRING YOUR TRIKE (2)

Now for your horn. Run a 16 gauge wire from the fuse panel  to your horn button and Blade 30 on the horn relay.  Then run another 16 gauge wire from the opposite  side of the horn button to blade 85 on the relay.  Put in another 16 gauge wire from blade 87 on the relay to the horn and if needed a ground for the horn.  Run a 16 gauge wire to ground from blade 86 on the relay.  To test your horn put a test lead from the positive side of the battery to the 12v input on the keyed ignition.  Make sure your battery is grounded and push your horn button.

Now let's get the headlights wired up.  Run a 16 gauge wire from your fuse panel to the relay and to the headlight switch.  This can be either the one on your handle bars or a switch as shown below.  The end that goes to the relay will attach at blade 30.  The one that comes from the headlight switch will again be a 16 gauge wire and will attach on blade 85 of the relay.  A 16 gauge wire to ground from blade 86.  Wire it as shown on the diagram.  You want a 16 gauge wire to the low beam side coming from blade 87a (the middle blade) and the other 16 gauge wire coming from blade 87going to the high beams.  If you want to run two headlights just split the wires so one goes to the right on and the other goes to the left one. Once these are connected you can again test them using the test leads.

Head light/s

Running lamps and License plate light

Run a 16 gauge wire from your fuse panel to both your front and rear taillights.  (I run the wire from the fuse panel to a terminal block, not shown,  then run the two wires front and rear) Another coming from the rear taillights to the license plate light.  These will come on as soon as you turn your ignition key on along with your head light.

Here we add the brake lights to the above diagram.

I recommend you use a 5/8th  brake master cylinder to operate your rear brakes.

This system uses a hydraulic brake line switch shown here

Now all you have to do is run a 16 gauge wire from the fuse panel to one side of the above switch.  From the other side run a 16 gauge wire to both rear brake lights.  When you step on your brakes and apply pressure to the switch the brake lights will come on.
