🤔 We have a 2007 Vulcan Classic LT 900. It will turn over but will not start. It looks like the wires were pulled under the seat. Unsure of how. Any Ideas?? Unsure of how to fix this and keep this from happening again.

Hi BEby and welcome to the forum.
Can you post some pictures of the wires in question?

 

[BEby]

He will have to get some pics of that ... Give me some time and I will post them as soon as he gets them to me... Thanks

 

[BEby]

Here are some pics... In the research that we've done... it said something about a hidden 'White Wire' .... Not sure what that is either...

These photos will be very helpful. A couple of questions:
1)When did this problem start?
2) What is with the yellow wire with the bare end in the 2nd photo?

A Couple Weeks Ago

The Yellow Wire is actually the wire that we are not sure where it goes!
Does every thing else look somewhat right??

Thank you so much for your help... Appreciate it!!

Ok, who put the yellow tape on the connector in photo #2. Is that a 6 wire connector? It looks like 5 wires on one side. How many wires on both sides of that connector?

He will have to answer that... I have forwarded him the discussion so that he can join in

Think that the Yellow wire is coming out of the Diagnostic connector and is meant to be there

 

[WFO-KZ]

Ropp, would they leave the end as bare copper?

 

[Ropp]

Probably , its meant to be used as the jumper wire

 

[WFO-KZ]

That is so weird. Well I guess we can rule the yellow wire out. I have to go run some errands for the next few hours. Ropp if you have any ideas to help BEby, I am sure she would appreciate it.

Ok, so it does show a clear insulator over the end of the yellow wire. That is what had me stumped. It just did not look like something the factory would leave as bare. It all makes sense now. Thanks Ropp.

BEby, did this bike fall over? It is equipped with a vehicle down sensor that will cutoff the fuel pump. It should reset itself after the bike is vertical and the ignition key is cycled off and on, but there is also the possibility that the sensor itself is bad. Do you know if fuel is getting to the cylinders? Can you hear the fuel pump running? Are the spark plugs wet with gas?

In the meantime I would tape up or somehow protect the bare end of the yellow wire in case it accidentally finds its way to the positive battery terminal.
