I'm trying to install a backoff wig wag unit on my GL1800. I've gone through the forum and found great input. My problem is that everywhere shows 2 grn/red and 2 grn wires going to the right trunk light, I only have 1 grn/red and 2 grn. I've order the service manual which should be here next week but I was hoping to work on this over the weekend.

Anyone know of the difference on the '06 GL1800?

If the 06 is the same as the 05, there are 5 Green/Red wires coming out of the 14-pin loom. 2 of these go right, 2 go to the lower lights and 1 goes left. Note that 1 G/R wire comes back from the right upper and goes to the left upper.

Been there done that. I've got some instructions if you want them but it sounds like you're already well into it. Does your's look like this?

06 brake light wiring

On the 2006 the (2) inside trunk taillights are not wired for brake light operation. Honda for some reason did not wire them up altho there is a empty hole in the connector and the bulb has the filiment that aligns with this hole. I installed a Wig-Wag unit from C.J. Industries and they provide jumper wires to activate the inside brake lights and there unit works great. I also have heard of some people replacing the wire harness with a harness from a 2005 and then all (4) brake lights work in the trunk but I did not do this. Good luck.........
