Rip wiring issue

[averagejoe]

Long story short, i bought a 2005 Ridgeback. Not running. The seller claimed it just needed the stator installed and he couldn’t figure out how to do it. I installed the stator. The seller replaced the ignition module, coil, Ehc with rip kit. While replacing the stator i noticed the crank sensor was physically broken so i replaced it. It is all back together and i have no Spark. I started tracking some of the wires as i noticed the brake lights were on all the time. So i found that the crank sensor was plugged into the brake wiring and the brake sensor was plugged into where the crank sensor should have been. I did find one spot where the wire loom from the ehc had a gash in it from a rough spot in the battery box that has gotten into a red wire. I’m guessing it was grounding out. I taped it up to do more trouble shooting. I do have power on the positive of the coil. As well i have the old ehc , coil and ignition module. I am wondering if going up the wiring wrong could have fried anything. As well as a wiring harness diagram could be helpful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

Welcome from Derby Ks. You should find a wiring diagram Here. You may have to contact bigdogisback to get a RIP diagram?

Howdy and welcome from Missouri. Lucky you. Your just a couple hours from Big Dog in Wichita. Give them a call. That RIP is a good unit, I've installed a couple of them in my shop, but most of us are running the Axle unit.

I had the very same issue on my 2006 Mastiff. Here is what I found. (1) The wires coming from the Coil to the Ignition module were not in the right position at the Ignition module connector. The harness that goes from the coil to the ignition module has three wires the Red wire which is the positive and should be in the center position, the other two are the yellow which goes to the Front Cylinder coil connector and the Blue which goes to the Rear Cylinder coil connector. What I did was change the position of the wires at the connector at the ignition module. The ignition module has the same color wires as the harness coming from the Coil, except that as I said they are in the wrong position. If so, disconnect the pins or wires from that connector, put the Red Pin at the center of the connector and color match the yellow and blue pins in the position that correspond with what have for the front and back cylinder. (2) The wires leaving the Module should match the wires on the connector and they should be (a) Red (power) (b) Black (ground) (c) Green (Tach) the last two wire are (d) Gray (crank sensor Negative and (e) White (Crank sensor positive). Basically, just match the wire color and hopefully they are the same as a 2006 BDM. I think they are from 2005 to 2011 not too sure on that, but this should give you spark. If you can get a spark tester, they cost about five bucks at Harbor Freight.

If the wires are not crossed let me know and we can try something different. If you need connectors and or wire to make a harness from the coil to the ignition module let me know, I had some wire and connectors left over and I can make you a harness FREE.

I will absolutely check that later today . I did verify the wires going to the coil were not broken but did not verify were in the right spot. I’ve been using a spark tester and have zero spark.

Welcome from NJ,
The Ehc sends power to the ign module and the ign module sends power to the coil. The crank sensor signals the ign module when to fire the coil. You should see the red light on the module illuminate when you select the run button and when you crank the engine the yellow and blue lights should blink.
That's what should happen but considering you purchased the bike at the local Butcher shop you probably have a considerable amount of troubleshooting ahead of you. This file may help you.

The infamous 05's. Im sorry. I too was sodomized by Sheldon Coleman. About 4 years ago I had a professional custom bike builder completely rewire my bike. I now have 2 fuses and the correct gauge wiring. Absolutely no issues since.

Thank you i think this will help a lot. I am a mechanic but new to custom bikes.

I may just rewrite it myself, i just really want to keep the big dog look with the handlebars.

There are ways to do that without butchering ur bike. Ck with Curtis @ WSW.

Could someone possibly get me the wiring diagram for a 2000 husky? Thanks in advance!
