This is on a 2006 VRSCSE2. I installed a sidemount license bracket and frame. I am trying to wire the lamp on the license frame. It's an LED light on the license frame. I have no other LED lamps on my bike at this time.
Under my seat, the group of wires that run into the rear fender are; purple, brown, red with yellow stripe, orange with white stripe, black, and 2 blue ones. I have a black and white wire coming from the sidemount license lamp.
I connected the black to black, and the white from the sidemount lamp to one of the 2 blue wires. I just spliced them in under the seat. As soon as I hook them together, my fuse blows for my headlamp and taillamp. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think the fuse blew until I turned the ignition to "on". Signals and brake light still operate.
First, am I connecting to the correct wires to make the license lamp operate properly, and second, is it because it's an LED lamp that I am blowing the fuse? Is this where load equalizers come into play or something like that? If so, what do I need to get or do to get this to work properly?
Thanks in advance for any help.
