Sometimes the main fuse will have a hairline crack >From vibration -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2016 9:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] 83' 550 lost all electrical power
The starter solenoid that hangs on a rubber mount near the battery has a plastic cover that flips up. There is a paper thin metal/wrench shaped 30-amp fuse. It is item #27 in this diagram http://www.bikebandit.com/oem-parts/1983-honda-night-hawk-550-cb550sc-right-side-cover-battery/o/m151746sch32135 If you need one, buy a few extras. Anytime things short out it can fry them. I kept a spare in my tool kit pocket that held a feeler gauge. -Bernie On 08/21/16, Thomas Weeks wrote: Today I went and picked my 83 NH 550 from a mechanic who had it for almost five months. He got into an accident and could not finish the work. He told me that he replaced the turn signal relay but did not have the wires in the right order (Green, Gray, and white). He was unsure of the correct order and told me to just swap them around until everything started working properly. Before I started messing with it the head light and brake light both worked. The front blinkers were on but would not flash. I could start the bike without any problems. I started trying different combinations and then turning the key on to see if the lights worked or not. At someone point I forgot to turn the key off as I was swapping the wires around. I currently have no lights at all and no power. I have check the fuses and they are all fine. Did I blow the relay or is something else wrong? Thank you so much for the help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
