New install Function Controller

[Hans]

Hi Jeff,
How and where did you connect the yellow wire?
This is the wire that switches the K5 on and off via a contact-switched power supply. If the power on this wire does not switch, the K5 will not turn on.

How did you connect the red and black wire?

Have you tightened the (power supply) connectors properly?

Hey Hans. Red and black to pos and neg on battery respectfully. Yellow runs license plate light

Hi Jeff,

You can try to connect the yellow wire directly to the positive terminal of the battery, then see if the K5 turns on.

If you disconnect the power module and connect a power bank to the USB connection, see if the K5 turns on. If the K5 turns on, the problem lies with the power module. If the K5 does not turn on, remove all parts (rear camera, GPS module, etc.) one by one to see if one of these parts is defective and is preventing the K5 from turning on. Make sure that you use a power bank that can supply enough current, at least 2A.

Hey Hans, I bought two cameras, one for each bike. I took camera two to my PC and plugged in and worked fine. I tried it to bike one and nothing. I’ll try the yellow wire now to see if that was the issue.

Hey Hans,

I grabbed camera two, plugged into bike one. I installed yellow onto red terminal too and it worked. So now makes me think the license plate wire isn’t enough power? I’m not sure the best location to install yellow wire.

Hey Hans!

Update! I got it to work! I moved the yellow to positive battery to test. And it worked. So I moved it to a different wire and it still worked. So I assume the original location wasn’t high enough voltage.

Thank you for the help!
