I just received my new wiring harness from Scrappy Dog. It looks really good. When I put it on my scooter, I noticed that there is some connectors that are not the same as my old wiring harness.
This question is probably going to be rhetorical, but do I need to take some of the connectors off the old harness and replace the new wiring harness connectors? Ignition keyswitch connector is different, as is the rear lighting connector. The new harness has one large female plug with multiple wires in it for the rear lighting, but my old one had a smaller 3 wire connector for the tail/brake lights, and barrel type connectors for the turn signals, so in other words, I would have to cut up the original harness to even make it work, or do they make an adapter connector for that one?

does it have the 6 wire ignition switch connector? if so you may have gotten the wrong harness.
there are more than one harness available, as a rule they are mostly the same but there are a few models that have different harnesses so they make more than one available.
when you buy a wiring harness look closely at the pictures to make sure the plugs all match.
if you call scrappydogscooters i am sure they will swap it out for the right one for you.

the other important detail is make sure you order a harness that matches your stator, they make a different harness for the 11 pole stators, you most likely have an 8 pole as they are very common.

I've already emailed their tech department. I checked the ignition switch connector on the new harness and it is a 6 pin connector, but has 5 wires in it. I think my old one is a 4 connector with 4 wires..
I ordered the 50cc model under the Handsome Boy section on their site, but I'm guessing they must have sent the wrong harness.

they did, handsome boy has type one and type two for the harness.
call them direct and talk to a live person, they are very helpful and will get you the right harness.

I sent an email last night to their tech department and here's what I said...
I just ordered a GY6 50cc wiring harness, which looks great, but do you have a connector diagram? my wiring harness is shot, but some of the connectors on the new harness are not the same.
My rear lights and turn signals are not the same connectors, and the ignition, and possibly the controls. I don't mind putting the old connectors on the new harness, but want to make sure I match them up properly. There also seems to be a few other connectors I'm not sure what to do with that are on the front part of the new wiring harness. Most have just 1 wire.. brown, black, etc..
Thanks for the help!
I forgot to mention that my scooter is a Handsome Boy style scooter pretty much like the Jonway QT-21. It has the word 'Velocity' on each of the side panels of the scooter..
Thanks!
Here's the response I got....
"Sorry I do not have a diagram for you. This is a generic wiring harness that will fit, but you will have to sort out what you have. You could try some of the scooter forums"
Not as helpful as I would have expected based on what everyone on here is saying...
I did call them today and spoke to a guy that seemed to know his stuff and he said that I do have the right harness, and I will have to change some of the connectors, and make sure to match everything up right pretty much. I don't mind having to change some of the connectors, but looks like I'll be breaking out the 6 pin connector for the rear lights and turn signals and adding on connectors for the turn signals. I didn't want to hack this thing up if it was the wrong wiring harness, and it scares me a bit since some of these bikes have their lights AC powered and some DC powered.

it is not the right harness, yours uses the harness with the 4 pin ignition switch.
you can find them on ebay pretty cheap, just look for the 4 pin ignition.
you can make that one work but be very careful about matching everything, you will have some extra wires.

I've already sent a request to return it. After looking at it, there are male connectors where there should be female and female where there should be male, etc. I'd have to do a lot of cutting and soldering to make this thing even halfway right... Can you point me to one? seems like all I can find are 150cc versions. I've found one on another vendors site, but just realized it's out of stock. |

basically you want a 4 pin ignition, count the wires on the stator, some have an extra green for ground.
you may still have to switch a couple plugs like the fuel gauge may be male instead of female.
the hunter style bodies use the same harness for 50 and 150, some are 4 wire and some 6, i don't know what the 2 extra wires are for.

I'm going to go ahead and see if I can fix my old wiring harness. It's not in too bad of shape, and I figure that'll save me a few bucks...
