rear brake light wiring (98)
04/19/09 at 16:17:23

On a 1998 Savage, can anyone confirm the 3 wires going to the rear brake light? From my best guessing by looking at the Clymer manual, I've got:

brown wire = postive
black w/ white stripe = negative
white w/ black stripe = ground

I'm changing my brake light to a standard 2 wire light mounted on a side mount and would like to take the guessing out of hooking up wires and testing. TIA

I'll experiment with the black w/ white stripe wire and white w/ black stripe wire as negative and ground. For sure the brown is positve. Thanks V -Matt

NOTE: that's pretty much standard throughout the bike. Brown is running lights, but they are always on , so yes, positive. White with black trace is brake light (switched).
