Oil Cooler Function

Good deal. Sorry I didn’t notice the ground was controlling wire earlier. I normally don’t see that

Here's the standard test of ignition on and throttle rolled back fully for 5 seconds. (Hopefully the vid will post from YouTube correctly.) I can also attest that the light comes on in real time riding situations. Guess Harley got this one right.

Thanks for this JT

That's pretty cool! Have you established what temperature it comes on under normal riding conditions?

I'll have to look it up again, but I believe the manual says it should come on under 30 mph if the engine temperature exceeds 275° F. This seems to be close in my actual riding conditions on a hot day like today. At one point today I was stopped in a safe spot with no traffic and when the light came on I got my ear down low and could hear the fan running. The light turned off when I got to a hair over 30 mph.

You are correct with what the manual says, I can hear mine at slow speeds so I know it is working, when I pull in my garage after a ride I let it run for a good 2 minutes before shutting it down, I can really hear the fan run then

If I weren't practically deaf I might be able to hear the fan come on too.

That is funny but pretty true for us old guys

Thanks everybody for the wiring tips about this project. It's been something I've wanted to do for quite some time, but was always worried about the electrics. Would really have been annoyed if my wiring harness burst into flames or something. This is why I love this forum.

Lectricity is a funny and scary animal, I respect it completely and most often do not have any major problems with it

I am sure you will not either, you rode a Troublehead and I am sure you did most all of your own wrenching and making things fit including wiring projects

If I recall when I re-did my '59 Pan there were only eight wires on the whole thing, not a fist thick harness and a computer with branches going to who knows where.

Jammer...a publication of Easyriders had some cool drawings I think done by Robinson. Various models done in that cartoon style and I used them to wire up several chops.

Before the days of Internet, YouTubber's and bloggers that's where I would get a lot of my information. Still have my Easyrider collection from issue 2. Don't remember what happened to issue 1. Course, don't remember a lot of things from back then.
