ok, i know this isn't supposed to go in general sportbikes but i'd like to get help fast and this probably has the most traffic. i'm hooking up my scorpio alarm right now, the ignition disable feature to be specific. this calls for me to cut the ignition wire and connect their wiring in series. there are obviously a few places i can splice into, i've chose to go right below the fusebox because the wires will reach the control unit and it'd be hard for thieves to get to this. here's my question: which one is the ignition wire. i see the ignition label on the fusebox, and i see all the wires below, my question is which one? the manual says orange with white stripe, i can't really tell, any suggestions? this is obviously something i don't want to fuck up, i'm 99% sure that this is the right one with the circle.

I couldnt tell you without looking at the wiring diagram. That's the one i would guess. But then again, you never know.

What i did to be sure, is check the wiring diagram- the ignition should have three diagrams with it. Wiring with ignition switch off, wiring with on, and wiring with parking lights on. So i checked the continuity between wires while in the "ON" position with a multimeter. If there was contact, you can tell which are which.

That is, IF you have a wiring diagram handy.... if not: ????

unfortunately not... pretty much the only things i have to go off of is the instruction manual from scorpio that says orange with white stripe, and my eyes which tell me the wire going into the ignition fuse is orange. i guess if its the wrong one i can just reconnect the wires, but its gonna get messy fast if that happens.

after taking a little bit closer look i noticed that there are two wires that go to each fuse. going into the ignition fuse is the solid orange wire on one side and an orange wire with a yellow stripe and green dashes on the other side, ideas anyone?

i dont think you have to use the ignition wire, you can probably use the kickstand sensor wire (not 100% sure about the scorpio but on other alarm system you can use the kickstand for ignition disable)
