[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1366284, member: 104942"] I still don't see how this isn't just shorting the voltage regulator output to ground when you hit the brake switch... [IMG]http://www.kilgallons.com/kdx/short.jpg[/IMG] Follow the yellow highlighted line... it goes from V+ from the regulator output, through the brake switch, to ground. All that will ever do is burn up a brake switch or the associated wiring (provided the stator can put out enough current). The green highlighted line would in theory light up the tail light. I think there is supposed to be a dual filament bulb back there, and the yellow line should go to the other filament then the green line went to, and the other end of those filaments should be grounded. Or maybe that is what the schematic is trying to show, and I was just too dense to get it... that the yellow highlighted wire isn't to the BK/Y line, but actually to another filament in the bulb. And the BK/Y wire goes to a common ground at the other end of both filaments. That would work. Now that I study it, the headlight end of the diagram is just as confusing... that green highlighted wire needs to go to the "other filament" in the dual filament bulb, and the BK wire should be a common ground for both filaments. So I think the schematic is right, just with a few really non obvious important details (which were probably described somewhere in the text for the thread, I haven't been following that closely...)
