vdubbinaddic Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 My buddy gave me a brand new tether switch from pro design, with no instructions. How hard could it be? Two wires, I thought easy. Well as it turns out, the thing just dont work. The banshee starts just fine but when I pull the chord, it stays running, any info would be greatly appreciated!

rebelbanshee2 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 how did you wire it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdubbinaddic Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I wired it in through the Ignition switch like he said too. If hes wrong Im gonna kick his A** for making me cut my wire harness.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtplay1975 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 typically the way to wire them is one wire to the pos side of the coil, should be orange I think, then the other wire to a good ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batoutofshell Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I bought one of these too and it worked about 3 times now same thing it doesn't do anything at all if you figure it out let me know thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgillivary Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 i got a tusk one take your light and kill switch off your handlebars get the wires outta the kill switch and hook the 2 on the tether switch up to those that should do it but im not sure about the pro design ones i heard they hook to the orange wire too worth a shot though you can always put the wires back in your kill switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelbanshee2 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 if you wired it into the ignition swith..as in key switch they thats your problem. You have to run it into either the white/black wire from the kill switch of the orange coil wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTMAN350 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Install inst are as follows for a banshee.short wire goes to ground and longer wire of the two goes to orange wire on coil. If you are still using your factory key switch you must disconnect it for the pro-design kill switch to operate right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegroup Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 on my 250r, i just got rid of the factory kill switch/light switch. i also took all the lighting wiring out though. ive got the pro design, had it on my warrior. now, ive just got to figure out where i messed up on the wiring:shootself: got it runing again the other day, pull the cord, still running. had to do the old front brake/clutch pop trick. now just got to run wires AGAIN!
