Project Stoopid!

[Master Hack]

I would like to figger out where to get some learning about the wire harness.
lt looks simple enough to disconnect some of the useless shyt like kickstand switches and turn signals, how much of that stuff goes through the ECM. Disconnect the centerstand switch and the fuel pump quits? Or the ignition won’t work? B4 i start cutting i need some letrical learnin

On this installment of "project stoopid" we are gonna play WTF is that part? So here we go:
This thing hangs out of the main part of wire harness. Looks like it should plug into something. It has 2 wires but no terminals inside the cap, just a rubber bump. It was hangin when l started on it. There is nothing i can find for it to plug into. It does not appear to be magnetic.
There isn't a suitable description in the shop manual.





It came out of this;

Is it a push switch? Perhaps like a kick stand safety?

 

[Master Hack]

I tried pushing it, sticking a magnet on it, put it in hot water, used my whole "colorful " language vocabulary, and gave up.
kick stand switch was jumpered long tme ago.
l got the majority of the stuff figgered out.
stay tuned for future updates.

Even a Google image with some help didn't bring up anything for me.

Wow. You even thermo tested it.

Thats a fz6r correct?

Thats a fz6r correct

Yes 2004
it would be nice to figger out what it is, but i've seen it run and it was just hanging, so it can continue to hang.

It’s probably some $2,000 dollar American sensor that you have now destroyed.

Google lens is great for giving hints to stuff like this.

(sorry I royally messed up that quote)

Using my advanced research and reasoning skills, and the mystery switch location near the (oviously broken) rear brake light switch.
I hearby pronounce that switch to be the rear brake light switch. It will remain so until deemed to be incorrect by a jury of its owners.

You have been here and experienced the "curse of MTL" first hand?

Oh like it gets mashed when you depress the rear brake pedal? I will accept that answer and give you a bonus spin on the wheel.
