Brakelight Switch

TESTING/REMOVING

„ NOTE: On the Jaguar Z1 to access the brakelight
switch connector, the two rear console screws
must be removed and the console must be lifted
upward and forward.

1. Disconnect the brakelight switch black and

brown two-wire connector (located below the

steering support). 

CM103A

„ NOTE: On the Panther 660, disconnect the two-
wire connector located under the console.

2. To test the brakelight switch, connect one tester

lead to the brown terminal; then connect the

other lead to the black terminal.

„ NOTE: On the Panther 660 to test the brakelight
switch, connect one tester lead to the yellow termi-
nal; then connect the other lead to the red termi-
nal.

3. With the brake lever compressed, the meter

must read 1 ohm or less resistance. With the

brake lever released, the meter must read OL

(open). If the meter does not read as specified,

the brakelight switch is defective and must be

replaced.

„ NOTE: On the Panther 660 to remove the switch,
use a small flat-blade screwdriver to compress the
plastic locking tabs by pushing in on the tabs;
then slide the switch free of the brake control.

AF201D

4. To remove the switch, remove the snap ring;

then remove the pin securing the brake lever to

the control assembly.

5. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, compress

the tabs of the switch; then push the switch

toward the end of the handlebar and out of the

control assembly.

CM108A

INSTALLING

1. Slide the brakelight switch into the brake control

assembly until the self-locking tabs snap into

position. Give the switch body a light pull to make

sure the switch is properly secured.

„ NOTE: On all models (except the Panther 660),
install the brake lever and secure with the pin and
snap ring.

2. Connect the switch harness to the main wiring

harness. Position the wires so they will not be

either pinched or come in contact with any mov-

ing components. Start the engine and check the

switch for proper operation.

„ NOTE: On the Jaguar Z1, return the console to
position and secure with the two rear screws.

Headlight            

Dimmer Switch

„ NOTE: This procedure is for all models (except
the Panther 660). For the Panther 660, see Head-
light Dimmer Switch (Panther 660) in this section.

REMOVING/TESTING

1. Remove the handlebar pad.

2. Remove the four screws securing the left-side

handlebar control assembly; then remove the

control assembly from the handlebar.

3. Disconnect the HI/LO beam harness from the

switch.

4. With the switch in the LO beam position, con-

nect one ohmmeter lead to pin (A) and the other

ohmmeter lead to pin (C). The meter must read

1 ohm or less resistance.

CM109A

5. With the switch in the HI beam position, con-

nect one ohmmeter lead to pin (B) and the other

ohmmeter lead to pin (C). The meter must read

1 ohm or less resistance.

„ NOTE: If either test does not read within specifi-
cation, replace the complete control assembly.

INSTALLING

1. Connect the HI/LO beam harness to the switch;

then place the control assembly on the handle-

bar.

2. Secure with the four screws.

Headlight

Dimmer Switch      

(Panther 660)

TESTING

1. Disconnect the headlight dimmer switch plug

(located next to the air-intake silencer). 

2. Use the tester connections indicated in the fol-

lowing chart. If the meter does not read as speci-

fied, the headlight dimmer switch is defective

and must be replaced.

REMOVING 

1. Remove the handlebar pad.

2. Remove the screws from the cover plate securing

the dimmer switch.

AF908D

3. Remove the plate and lift the switch free of the

control.

INSTALLING

1. Place the dimmer switch into the control and

secure with the cover plate and screws.

2. Connect the four-prong plug; then install and

secure the handlebar pad.

Testing Handlebar 

Warmer Elements        

(HI/OFF/LO Function)

„ NOTE: On all models (except the Panther 660) to
access the element connectors, the handlebar
control assembly for the side being tested must be
removed.

„ NOTE: During this test, resistance will vary due
to temperature; therefore, this test should be made
at room temperature of 20° C (68°F).

1. Remove the handlebar pad; then disconnect the

handlebar warmer three-wire connector.

2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter

lead to the green/white lead; then connect the

other ohmmeter lead to the green lead.

3. The meter must read between 6.3 and 7.7 ohms.

4. In the element connector, connect the ohmmeter

between the green/black and yellow lead wires.

5. The meter must read between 12.6 and 15.4

ohms.

6. Replace any element measuring less than or

more than the specified amount.

„ NOTE: Repeat test for the other element.

7. Connect the leads; then install the handlebar

control assembly and secure the handlebar pad.

Testing Thumb   

Warmer Element          

(HI/OFF/LO Function)

„ NOTE: During this test, resistance will vary due
to temperature; therefore, this test should be made
at room temperature of 20° C (68°F).

1. Remove the handlebar pad; then disconnect the

thumb warmer three-wire connector.

2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter

lead to the green/white lead; then connect the

other ohmmeter lead to the green lead.

3. The meter must read between 1.5 and 6.9 ohms.

4. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter

lead to the green/black lead; then connect the

other ohmmeter lead to the yellow lead.

5. The meter must read between 5.5 and 23.0

ohms.

„ NOTE: If either test is not within specification,
replace the thumb warmer element.

6. Connect the leads; then install and secure the

handlebar pad.

Testing Handlebar

Warmer Switch

(Panther 660 - HI/OFF/LO Function)

1. Remove the handlebar pad.

2. Disconnect the handlebar warmer three-wire

connector.

3. In the switch connector, connect the ohmmeter

leads to the green/white and green lead wires.

4. With the switch in the OFF (middle) position,

the meter must read an open circuit. With the

switch in the HI position, the meter must read 1

ohm or less resistance.

5. In the switch connector, connect the ohmmeter

leads to the green/black and green leads.

6. With the switch in the OFF (middle) position,

the meter must read an open circuit. With the

switch in the LO position, the meter must read 1
