Today I got the the 6P and 3P and 2P separated and tested the various circuits. All seemed fine, though I have not tested the VRR pins, partly because I don't have the requisite multimeter, but also because I discovered the melting described below.
I saw black, melted plastic (of the 6-pin white connector that shoves into the bottom of the VRR) around the yellow (alternator) input line designated #5 on page 17-8 of the ST1100 manual. That connection, #5, is the alternator-to-VRR input line immediately next to the wall of the VRR and the bike frame.
My question now is, how do I fix this? So far, I can't seem to shove the female of this connection out of the melted white 6P connector.
Some preliminary web searches don't show me a replacement for the white 6P connector.
Should I dremel the melted area out of the white6P connector, and just run a separate line from alt (actually, closest 3P red connector) to VRR for that pin?
Or, what? Tired and sore, I'll leave it there...thx
p.s.: at this point, I don't want to be soldering the various yellow wires to eliminate the red connector...that stuff ain't my problem...my problem is a completely useless, but physically unassailable position within the white 6P connector...
