So, I am changing my left switch gear on my 84 R80RT from the US headlight on all the time version to a version with the added headlight off, parking light, headlight on switch. This switch also came from an 84 R80RT, simple yes, well yes and no. I have a mystery wire in the "new" switch. One that is not on any of the wiring diagrams I have at hand or have found on line. My eyes tell me it is either Green/orange or Green/brown and it is part of the switch assembly, not an add on.
I am assuming the switch I am installing is the UK/Euro version of the switch gear and I would think BMW would have a wiring diagram showing the UK/Euro version, alas, no, I have not been able to find such a thing.
The ONLY time I see this color wire is in a wiring diagram for /6, R90S bikes. The wire goes from the switch to the headlight relay which makes kind of sense to me.
Anyway, here are pictures of the two switches, and the mystery wire, any ideas as to where it should go would be helpful. St.
