Ahh….electrical problems are so much fun. Well, I did make some progress. Again, the issue is that the rear brake light and tail lights do not work.
The mystery wires that were holding up the speedometer cable turned out to be wires that were supposed to go to a front brake light switch. That switch is missing.
It also appears that the rear brake light switch is not working. I can’t get a good continuity test on it no matter what.
I’m not sure what all this has to do with the taillight, unless somehow that voltage travels through the same wire. I’ll find out when I get a replacement switch. If not hing else, I can tap into the brown wires in the headlight bucket – those are positive leads whenever the headlight switch is turned on. By the way, when you’re weaving through the wires in one of these old Hondas, dark green is ground, blue is the positive lead when the headlight switch is turned to high, and the white wires are the low beam positive leads.
I got my use out of my multimeter this weekend.
