Which wires do what on Triumph Accessory Clock ?

[Joesmoe]

I purchased the accessory clock, and I have service manual through '14, and of course, the wire colors don't match. I'm trying to connect the clock to my Touring, which does NOT have the accessory socket for the analog clock.

In the manual, the wire diagrams for both the Classic and the Roadster show the accessory socket for the clock, and wires are shown thusly:

1 - Purple (unswitched power - presumably for the clock)
2 - Black (ground)
3 - Red/Blue (switched power - presumably for the dial light)

The challenge is the connector for the clock is wired not so obvious:

outside pin - Brown
inside pin - Purple with striped darker purple?
other outside pin - Red/Blue - presumably this one at least is the switched power, as above

Might someone who has done this share which wires (switched, unswitched, and ground) I solder to the new connector I'll be adding to the harness ?

@DEcosse ?

Paul - are you sure the "T" has a clock connector? - Is that MAYBE the heated grips plug?

 

[Joesmoe]

Even when I put 'NOT have a connector' the human reads past that, and you (or anyone) ask, "Are you sure it has . . ."

I'm sure it does NOT NOT NOT have a connector for the clock. The STANDARD and the ROADSTER have connectors for the accessory clock. Yes, the 'T' does have connectors for heated grips, and for "GPS" (according to the wiring diagram).

Question remains, thank you.

Yes, yes! - BUT ARE YOU SURE?

I am lazy when it comes to accessories. I fit a separate fuse-box or these days a PDM60 and wire everything to that where possible.

I am sure the colors from the clock do not match the wiring diagram (the diagram shows only the bike side).

I'm a "check three times, solder once" kinda guy.

Bump

Still looking for someone to help me with which is switched and which is unswitched power for the Triumph accessory clock, please.

The challenge is the connector for the clock is wired not so obvious:

outside pin - Brown
inside pin - Purple with striped darker purple?
other outside pin - Red/Blue - presumably this one at least is the switched power

At least per the schematic, pin 2 on the connector is the black wire which is the ground - that implies that the Purple/Dark Purple would be the ground

Touch wire from middle terminal to battery negative;
then touch a wire from battery positive to the other two terminals independently - the one that illuminates the back-light is your switched lead.
From convention you would expect the Brown would be Constant and the Red/Blue the Illumination

Thank you!

u might want to use an inline fuse in the positive circuit while checking. also an ohm meter might give u some info.

And the answer is:

Brown is ground
Blue/Red is switched power for instrument illumination
and the middle pin Purple/Dark Purple is constant power for the clock.
