Where or what goes on the three wires that are grouped together on sportster. they are black white and green

Yes, since the law was enacted that motorcycles must ride with the headlights on at all times, a lot of the earlier bikes were changed so that the headlights would come on when the ignition switch was turned to the ignition postition. Most people just added the jumper but some moved the wire making the switch a two connection only switch.
Testimonial: "Thanks. That's what it looked like and now i know why."

What prompted you to mess with the switch?What was wrong?Anyway I don't think thats right.One wire per screw.I'd guess the switch is bad and when key is turned it doesn't connect the right terminals,so the wires were put on the only terminals the switch was fireing up.I'd get another switch.If you look real close each screw has a letter stamped in plastic G for green W for white etc. I think there's a black wire too.Did you check to see if the bike starts with key off?Maybe turning the key on only turns on the lites?Good luck
SOURCE: in what order do the wires go into the deautsch
Isn't it fail safe? I mean yellow group red wire will only go in lets say 3 if you try any other # it won't go.Just a thought,have you tried that?
SOURCE: hooking up a tach on a 89 harley sportster 883,
Most aftermarket tachometers will employ a 3 wire system. A "power" wire, a "signal" wire and a "ground" wire. On a stock Sportster's ignition coil there will be 2 terminals/posts. 1 post will have a set of white wire on it the other a blue or pink wire. White is switched 12VDC (vehicle power) and the blue/pink is the secondary side of the coil (signal). I'd really need more information to be most helpful.

GREEN is always ground, start there,you will need a volt meter a $10 Harbor freight or $29 Home Depot volt meter will work fine. set the dial or setting selector button etc to DC voltage, the meter will come with instructions if you arent sure how to telll if its correct. with the black probe of the meter or just one probe if they are not red and black in color denoting Pos and Neg probes.
With the black probe on ground test to the other wires you question, with the key of see if any read voltage to ground? then try with the key on but engine off, then start bike and read, and if a light switch exists, most today are daytime running with engine and no off switch is fitted, but if so switch on the light and read what becomes hot and when.
Remember there are just 2 sides of power there as the battery has but 2 terminals, Pos & Neg
Positive is the side we begin to a switch through a load and every single corcuit must return to geound , or neutral or common, all different names for the same thing or side of power,
the negative or neutral or ground is common as the corcuits all terminate there to comlete the circuits requirements for 2 sides of power a switch and a load.
all those wired are just 2 wires really, and most are hot at voarious times depending on sequence of operation desired and what circuit is from what switch or relay etc.
