Member Contributer Conedodger Posted September 17, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2015 Is the relay on the 6th Gen VFRness strictly to provide a good power source for the monitor wire for the R/R? I'm installing an FH020AA R/R that does not require the monitor wire. Can I remove the relay and associated wires from the VFRness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted September 17, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2015 Auxiliary power . I was thinking VFRness took the black and white wire and wire connected it to one of the 12Vdc red wires. I think it is in the instruction's . This will help. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/34762-6th-gen-monitor-wire-fix/?hl=%2Bmonitor+%2Bwire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted September 17, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2015 There are two relays on my VFRness. This one (located near the R/R) looks like it is supplying power (via the purple wire) to the monitor wire and also acting as a trigger (other purple wire) for the auxiliary power relay (Located near the accessory fuse block). I'm thinking I can remove it and find a new source to trigger the auxiliary relay. It is a little difficult to see in this borrowed pic, but behind the thumb, there are two purple wires coming from the relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted September 18, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 18, 2015 The thumb in that photo - strangely familiar. Where have I seen it before . . . Hmmm. Wait, oh yeah - it's mine! I took that when I put the VFRNess on my VTEC. So I just went out and looked under the seat - and I believe it's what I suspect. I got my VFRnesswith the fuse block. The purple wire runs to a relay next to the starter relay. In addition to the purple wire, there are wires to the + and - on the battery, and the 4th wire leads to the fuse block. So I believe that the purple wire supplies power to trigger the relay that controls the fuse block. Looking more closely at the photo, my thumb is not covering the purple wire - it arcs up and then down running along the frame to cross over to the battery side. If you want I can remove the right side fairing and double check, but I think that's what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
