Poor Ducati,

He must be completely lost in this discussion, am I right Ducati?

Well, Alex Greg and Jim and I have given a pretty good account of car electic theory and practice, and I hope that you will re-read my primer on circuits which will let you troubleshoot shorts on any vehicle. Perhaps a few more questions from you will help you figure it out.

It kinda sounds like you have a piece of solder connecting the + wire to the ground wire. If this is a front turn signal, you should have three wires to it. One will be brown, yes? the other two will be some colors/stripe, etc.

Here is what you should do. Go to local PNP and steal (make that "borrow") another connector. Snip off the wires a good 3 inches from the connector.
Then crimp on the matching wires to your car. Done. It will function perfectly. Oh yeah, borrow some fuses from donor car as well. If you don't have a crimp plier and solderless connectors, GO BUY THEM!! You will always use them for the rest of your life.
Anyone here will agree, and if they don't they cannot be trusted and are definetly from Pakistan, or Uranus, or somewhere...
Hey Presto.

Ducati, if you are asking me (Ed) about what happened to the Jag?
