Honda Wiring Plan

[CMReynolds1]

Honda's Master Wiring Guide to all Wings. I have posted this before, but have cleaned it up some. Here is the final copy (I hope). This is not a cast in concrete, but is a good starting point if you are chasing wires. It has helped me and a few of my friends. Hope it will help some of you. It is NOT year specific, so will work for all Wings and maybe other Honda bikes.

GOOD WORK! You can never have too many people posting on wiring solutions and taking the time to document any wiring info that can lead us to a solution. Now how do I save this to my "ALL the wiring S**T that can go wrong with a Wing" notebook.....

[CMReynolds1]

It is picture, that is the only way I could get it to post. So, save a picture and then either print it out or just keep it that way. Saving as a .jpeg (picture) won't change how it prints out on normal sized paper.

I printed it out. thanks for the reply....

Thanks CMReynolds1, electrical wiring is always a problem for me. I am upgrading my horns, headlight modulator and brake light modulator and I had not clue where the start. Hopefully with your info I will not burn my bike to the ground.

I have tried to find a 1500 actual wiring schematic, but none on the net for free. Still too new of a bike. However, I am sending you the 1200 wiring diagram and it may be close on many things. Just keep it mind it is a guess on my part.

thanks CMReynolds1 , I will print and check it out this evening when I am installing the new HID headlights that arrived yesterday. I have had the Diamond star head light modulator for years and was never brave enough to attempt tackling the wiring once I saw how many different areas it has to be attached to within the wiring harness.

If you don't already have a manual, I would suggest getting one. Quite invaluable. Usually run about $40-$50. If you can get the Honda Factory, get it. It is better than the Clymer. If not, Clymer is okay too.

I purchased a Honda shop manual when I bought my wing new in 1999. I use it a lot for the mechanical work, since I do almost all of the repairs myself. I just have issues with the electrical. I do not totally understand all of the ins and outs of wiring.

[CMReynolds1]

Post any questions here and I or someone else will help out. You can always PM me if you wish.

[wingman12]

thanks, I will provide the wine when you stop over. LOL

[CMReynolds1]

If I was closer, I would be happy to come over and help. Oregon & Illinois are a few miles apart!!

[wingman12]

I agree about 2100 miles, a hard 3 day ride at best if you are pushing it.

The reason you won't find a "1500 wiring schematic" is that the wiring on the bike is far too huge and complex to be contained in a single diagram. Such a diagram would be completely unreadable. Instead, the diagrams are broken down into blocks containing individual systems, and there are many of these - and they are interconnected. There is an entire 170-page Honda service manual (Electrical Troubleshooting Manual) dedicated to just the electrical system of the GL1500.

[CMReynolds1]

WOW! Thanks. I don't think my factory 1800 manual is that bad.

[CMReynolds1]

Correct that. There is a second manual in my library. It is the ETA Manual. Looks like about the same # of pages! I am not batting so well today, lol.
