The Norton Wiring being 40 years old with many repairs & blowing the only fuse. Decided to replace with the Lucas wiring loom pn 54935175
this meant a replacement main light switch assy pn 34289.
On fitting these to the Norton 650SS & connecting the 12V battery all new, the Ammeter shows 1 to 2 amps current no wires appear to be getting warm, The light switch does nothing, checking the new switch no voltages appear on any of the contacts, which makes me think is the switch compatable to the switch assy, as sold by Norvil. The wiring diagram supplied by Lucas is very basic showing 3 read wires at the Battery end of the loom. 2 red wires having loops on are connected to earth as the bike has a @Positive earth. The 3rd red wire is connected to the Rectifier +ve input.
No lights work, the Zener diode measures 750K ohm, but would not have an effect on lights in a stationary condition. Has any one else had these problems? It should be simple but not is with old motor electronics
