Turn the key on and no power!!

[Rocket Scientist]

I reconnected the park lights and they do not turn off under any condition.

Any suggestions.

I guess your just going to have to leave it parked

Its been parked for 3 weeks. Hell no. I'm riding.

One more thing for those that install the Triumph harness replacement. Try to remember that it needs to be tucked away down close the the valve cover. There is not much room under the fuel tank and if you dont have it down far enough the tank will sit on the harness. That would probably become a problem in the future.

Yeah In Post #83 I said you would need to follow the yellow wires back till they become one hopefully before they go into the main park light circuit. but you were to tell us (or PM me if you don't want every one to know yet) what you are trying to achieve with them we might be able to shed more light on your Woes

Does that mean with the ignition off the lights stay on? The circuit (as built by Triumph) will turn those lights on in any ignition switch position other than OFF (remove key postion). If they stay on with the switch in OFF you have done something Triumph didn't intend (with good reason). If you follow the schematic you'll see what ignition switch positions apply power to the yellow wire for the small lights (basically ALL of them). That includes the kill switch. That's the red/orange wire coming out of the ignition switch (sayeth page 18.23 of my manual) that goes to fuse 10.

Only when I turn the key. I did not check the lights in the handle bar lock position but if they are on in that position as well I will just disconnect them.
If that becomes the case I will make it a project for another time. Good weather here, I'm riding.

IN lock position nothing is powered (or at least supposed to be).

No lights in the lock position. I still dont understand why the lights are on but I can live with it. I will put some LED's in that spot and be done.

They are on a separate circuit to the headlights, they are powered through the ignition with the indicators, brake-lights and horn. You will notice all these are available in park.

I dont remember them being on before this harness project.

They come on with the key on the start position and stay on until I turn the key off or lock.
