xj 650 k wires

hello all
are all xj 650 wires like this or is this the last owners work i have started to sort thing out
mike

 

the factory does use crimps like that, but those look messy.goes to

the blue/white wire goes to solinoid(starterswitch) diode block, and starter button
wiring diagram implies a 3 way split as you have. in main harness

Dark green runs from front blinker to meter connector to turn selector to rear blinker. may be another split oon it

brown to many to count

 

hi
thank you i will solder and sheath wrap them last owner was a big fan of cut and shut then tape over

If you solder them make sure you use a stiff sealed heatshrink to stop corrosion and snapping cores - its more common than you'd think. I honestly prefer the simple crimp, its no wonder the factories all? Do it this way.

 

yes common pratcice but I hope that brown wire crimp is not from the factory

 

Eh? Why not, it's no different to the others? Is it, or have I just not looked too closely?

 

The multiple brown wires crimped together appears to be the internal "split" that powers the 3 circuits in the fusebox (except the MAIN fuse).....one of the thick brown wires comes from the key switch, and it then "splits" into 3 separate wires for each fuse circuit "input"

 

if that is a factory crimp it must have been done on a friday or monday. it is poorly done, excessive wire exposed and some wire strands that did not make the crimp.
If I found that on a harness I would redo the crimp.

 

You'd better start stripping your harness then, sure you'll find more like that.

 

That actually looks like one of the better ones that I've seen on these harnesses.............
