Anyone know what this is?

[Maritimeboy]

This device is wrapped into the harness of my 1980 GL1100. I am creating a completely new harness off by reverse engineering the old one. I have no idea what this one does or if it needs to be replaced.
It has STANLEY printed on the top of it and is not quite 1 inch by 1/2 inch.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers

Pretty sure that is the neutral clutch-switch/light diode.

If that is two blade my best guess is it's some sort of inline diode. I've tried searching the number but no luck and I'm not even sure I'm reading it right.

I see 3 blades on it. My best guess would be a flasher relay....

If the wire colors going to it are lg/r and g/r then it's the silicone rectifier. The r/g does to starter solenoid beside battery

You can check with a multimeter if it is a blocking diode for sure. Which I believe it is also. :yes:

2 wires - one is brown from the battery main and the other is white/red which goes to the white 9 pin connector (dash panel)

Looks like tha Starting diode for the clutch starting circuit. If its working ok you can start the bike by holding the clutch lever in, or putting the bike in neutral. If it burns open, then the only way you can start your bike is by holding your clutch lever in, even if the bike is in neutral. If it fuses itself shut you can start your bike but your neutral light will turn on every time you squeeze the clutch .

That might be a data chip from the Empire, the kind of thing they use to store schematics. I heard there is a group called ROGUE ONE that was sent to steal one.

Did you get the bike from a group of nomadic Jawas? :?

~O~

Sorry, I'm in a silly mood.

Lol, well the brown wire coming off of it suggest it is part of the park light circuitry as the wire runs between the ignition switch park position and the "park" fuse. I have not been able to locate the W/R wire on the schematic yet

To elaborate, "Any intelligent input would be appreciated "
But thanks for coming out, omegaman

 

[slabghost]

So ...... Framcombobulator isn't a good guess?

 

[backlander]

I'm clueless, I've searched the schematic for two hours and still no W/R wire on the GL1100. The GL1000 has one that attaches to the 7 volt regulator but no such animal shown on the GL1100.

Have you tested it yet with a multimeter?

 

[Maritimeboy]

Not sure how but after degreasing the wires and considering 37 years of fade, the wires could be lg/r and br/r.

 

[joedrum]

LOL honda wiring :headscratch:

 

[backlander]

The silicone rectifier does have a Lg/R wire to it like I said earlier but the other wire should be G/R instead of Br/R. Keep scrubbing or look a little deeper on that wire for the true color but I am pretty sure it is the silicone rectifier which is nothing more than a diode.

Went looking for the clutch diode on my '85 LTD. Found it on the schematic for the CFI system schematic. Knowing how Honda likes to keep things the same and it has been mentioned that there is a green/red striped wire in and a light green/red striped wire out, the same on the '85 LTD. haven't found the location of the diode yet, but will continue to investigate.

The schematic shows how the system works. As long as the diode is good and the bike is in neutral it will start without the clutch being engaged. If the clutch diode is not working, the only way to start the bike and get a neutral light is to engage the clutch as it will be the only way to ground the system for start.

You will notice that the starter solenoid is dependent on the diode for starting in neutral, and if not, the clutch must be engaged. This grounds the coil in the starter solenoid and engages the coil in the starter solenoid so the starter will get power when the starter switch is pushed.

Here is the schematic I found showing the clutch diode and how the system works:

The flow of power is from the battery through a 30 amp fuse to the ignition switch, out of the ignition switch to the engine stop switch and starter switch. From the starter switch via a yellow/red striped wire back to the starter solenoid to energize the coil in the starter solenoid to allow power to flow to the starter. The circuit is completed by power flowing through the green/red striped wire to ground through either the clutch diode, or the clutch switch.

Hope this helps. Cheers

That diode comes out of the harness under the left side of the seat above the saddlebag before the harness splits for the tail light connectors. Just the diode and connector it plugs into projects out of the harness.

 

[Maritimeboy]

Sounds like the culprit. Given how well its buried I suspect they don't fail much.

Thx

Cheers
