Re: 1965 R50/2 Tail light wiring
SW = Schwarz = Black
GR = Grau = Gray
So the Red wire is the brake light (activates via rear brake pedal switch)
The Black wire is the tail light and license plate light (activates via key position)
The Gray wire is the common for the brake and tail lights (i.e ground)

Re: 1965 R50/2 Tail light wiring
Gray is now sharing with Green.
When headlight is turned on, with ignition in either right or left position, both lights light up, and the dual filament tail light lights up the upper filament.
Now, as I depress the rear brake pedal, nothing changes. However, if I move the ignition to the center, with no lights on, the brake pedal activates the lower filament and the license plate light lights up very dim like this.
So, getting closer. Should I take off the fender and check the wiring block next or is there anything else I can try in this tail light assembly?
