Unclear on battery sensor disable??

Post by Coastvoyager »

Hello all,
New the forum and my 00 Voyager I just purchased. The P/O installed a battery without a place to install the sensor, AGM or?. I have the sensor, and it has what I believe is a diode just upstream of the part that drops into the battery? at. It all looks like a factory setup. So I have a several inches long piece of blue wire that was unplugged from the rest of the harness, then the diode or what ever it is, then a inch or so of yellow wire and then the sensor head. Do you simply leave the entire sensor/diode off and land the bike harness's blue wire to the battery to keep the light off? Sorry if this sounds overly complicated or confusing.
Thanks guys.

Take the wire that go's to the sensor and connect it to the orange wire on the turn signal flasher ( it's mounted on the battery hold down ) I usually put a resistor in between but I don't think you have to.
That wire only has power when the key is on so it won't drain the battery.
