Installing Admore Light Kit for Givi V46 Top Box

[exstowner]

I just received the kit.  I have brake lights working.  The running lights flash momentarily when I turn the key on but don't stay on.  the turn signals are not working at all.  I need help.  

Thanks for any feedback

Hey there,

Haven't installed the exact kit you mention but I have installed 2 Admore kits on my last two bikes. They were older models and the instructions were spot on. Did you receive good directions or are you figuring out the wiring as you go? I find the taps they include need to be screwed down as tight as they will go in order to maintain a good connection.

 

Hope this helps.

thanks for responding. 
The instructions are worthless. I am figuring the wiring as i go.  I don’t think I have the right wires tapped. I have the yellow wire from the bunch that goes to the brake light tapped right. I have the ground wire that I tapped correct. Just need to figure out the running light and the turn signals. These are the wires I have tapped

There is no 'running light' on the rear, or do they recommend just plugging it into a key-on power source like the license plate light?

Double check your yellow connection. According to the instructions, the harness-side is as follows:

RED*= + 12V (switched); BLUE= Brake Light wire; GREEN= Right Turn Signal wire; YELLOW= Left Turn Signal wire; BLACK= Ground.

Here is the wiring schematic from the 2015 FJ-09 (mine) which may or may not be of use to you.

It looks as though the connections should be, in order harness to bike:

Harness to bike

blue to yellow ,

black to black,

red to brown,

green to dark green,

yellow to dark brown

 

Hope this helps.

I tapped the ground and running light from the license plate light, and the turn signals from the their respective harnesses, and the brake light the blue wire going to the tail light. Everythings works as intended. I'm using an AdMore light bar, but the wiring harness is the same.

I used this as my connections:

5 wire harness to motorcycle; 

BLUE  to  +12V (switched) (Blue in tail light harness)

RED to Brake Light Wire (Yellow in tail light harness) 

GREEN to Right Turn Signal (Green)

YELLOW to Left Turn Signal (Brown)

BLACK to ground (Black in the tail light harness)

I have to be blatantly honest, that tale light looks crap

[exstowner]

How would you improve it?

Is it working correctly now?

[exstowner]

No. Based on the chart, it should be. 

[iamthedruman]

Based on the instructions from the Admore site, it seems like:

RED*= + 12V (switched); 

BLUE= Brake Light wire; 

GREEN= Right Turn Signal wire; 

YELLOW= Left Turn Signal wire; 

BLACK= Ground

From your description, it seems like your red and blue are reversed.

I looked at the instructions included in the box.  You are right.  the online documentation is different.  I will try it this afternoon.  Thanks.

[exstowner]

Thanks to all.  Switched the RED with the BLUE and all working now.  Woo Hoo!

Nice! - Lets see a photo of the finished product with the top box lit up.
