Hi.
I have my lambretta with new electronic kit fitted and a new scootRS ignition switch, and i dont have rear light.
I have three wire that come from the rear part. Green, brown and black. The black one is the one that come from rear light.
I am using the wiring diagram that is the last position in the sticky book (MB type simplified one) + this one: http://scootrs.com/images/restoration/w ... switch.png, and i dont know where is the problem.
Someone can help me?
Thanks

If your headlight is working ok then I'd be inclined to connect your back light wire to the wire theat goes to the dip switch (yellow?)

When I fitted mine I have up with the wiring diagram and connected it by trial and error :roll:

The headset wiring should'nt affect the stop light, so unless you have 2 seperate problems the fault will be at the rear, either the wiring to it or the earth.
Does the speedo light work?

Hi.
First, thanks to both.
Second, now i have rear position light but not stop one. The other things are allright.
I have disconnect the brake switch, and i see with the tester that is not ok, when i put the tester to see continuity i press the button and there arent. Then if i connect two brake wires, i have rear position light, but when i disconnect there arent light (i think that in this moment must be stop light).
Now in the headset i have the BLACK wire that come from rear light connected to pilot light, and pilot light to earth.
Then i have the YELLOW wire that come from ScootRS switch connected to ORANGE that come from light switch.
I dont have connected the speedo light.
Maybe the solution is to put the BLACK that come from rear light to earth (without speedo light) and in the other side to put the YELLOW from scootrs switch to ORANGE from light switch and to pilot light and this one to earth?
Thanks!!!!
