Couple of times now, I've returned home to find my topbox lid laying open......maybe I didn't get it latched, Maybe I failed to close it at all before leaving?
At any rate I'm thinking about an alert system so if it comes open I'd know it.
I'm thinking simple.....
Does this work????
It appears that the bulb monitor red dash light would come on if the tail light failed while moving. Does anyone know?
(I haven't yet disconnected the bulb to see if the W/L will come on without having to re=start the engine???)
If so, I thought it would be fairly simple to run a short jumper from the tail light wiring up to the topbox & across a 20W magnetic N/O switch. Idea is, the box top comes open, the tail light would go out and bring the dash W/L on.
Would it work?
