After reassembling my friends 2007 650 (CVT overhaul) the tail lights and license plate light are not working.
Yesterday I removed the rear upper & lower covers as well as the battery tray, checked bulbs and wires leading all the way to where they connect under the battery tray and the wires enter the bundle at that point, disconnected and reconnected both connectors. Brake lights and turn signals work fine.
Schematic shows lead from battery neg terminal via ignition relay (that provides power source when key is on) connects to b/w wire that leads to rear lights, headlights do light with key in on position so I'm guessing that the replay is working properly, though it's an HID upgrade that connects directly to the battery.
I am not able to find any other connection point for the rear lights. The battery while working does need to be trickle charged frequently and if lights are left on for more than 1 minute with engine not running, bike requires a jump start. Hoping to trade bike in soon so don't want to put a new battery in it, but if for some reason a failing battery might be causing problems or damage other components (rectifier), I'll replace it.
Thanks
