2001 Bonneville - Burnt Wiring Loom (main)

Hey Folks,

Anyone seen anything like this on their Bonnie?

This is the Main Wiring Loom connector which connects to the Rectifier.

Bike has been running fine, no charging issues, but clearly needs to be resolved.

Any help or guidance welcomed.

 

Hi,

Cannot be certain, I've had the bike for 18 months, done about 1500 miles in that time, but as you mention, this could have been there for a while.

I ran some tests on the Rectifier/Charging System and all appears ok, will be getting an Auto-Electrician to review.

 

The Wiring connectors sit (Mostly) within the headlamp bowl, I would suggest looking there first.

Having done further work on this, I've looked through the wiring diagram and find that these wires connect to the starter, via the solenoid, and will be checking the quality of those connections, that is where the most current draw will be.

I've managed to repair the loom and put new connectors (soldered for better connection) into the plug, hope that I'll get this up and running later today.
