Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll find answers to frequently asked questions about this repair.

Do I really have to remove the rubber mat to get to the taillight wire?

According to these instructions, yes, because only then can you remove the footboard cover and access the taillight wiring.

Can I use electrical tape instead of heat-shrink tubing?

Yes, the old procedure explicitly mentions electrical tape as an alternative. Heat-shrink tubing is usually the neater solution, but electrical tape can also be used.

What should I do if the taillight doesn't work after I've put it back together?

First, check the plug connection and the insulation on the cable connection again. If the taillight still doesn't work, you should inspect the wiring more closely.
