    Hi everyone, does anyone know where I can access a wiring diagrame for my 2015 T100 black as I had the headlight out this evening to attempt to see if an LED bulb could be fitted and have found a burnt connector (pin 10 in the black 12 way connector) large blue with yellow trace one side and smaller all blue on the other, one side of the connector comes from the left switch gear I am thinking it may be the dip beam feed since it is on the whole time? I have looked online but can't seem to find the correct one any ideas please!:(

    Not the best way to stay warm in winter.

    Seriously though. Cable is always specced to carry the max current. Do have a clamp meter to measure the actual amps ?. I'm sorry, I can't help you with an electrical drawing, no doubt one of the other esteemed members can help you on that. Be interesting to find the actual cause. Please post the answer as to what caused it.

    Here's an update on my wiring issue, I managed to find some wiring connectors at work on an old loom (I work in a Fiat dealer) that are the same as fitted to the bonny so I removed the male pin from the connector on the bike and found it to be as new!so moved it to one of two spare adjacent socket's and added another pin also and joined both wires together to spread the load across two pins, I then did the same for the female side then cut the original wire back to clean copper and soldered those wires together, my opinion on the fault is that the female connector was poorly crimped when made and this caused the terminal to overheat and melt the block, see pics

    I'd say you were correct, bad contact between pin and wire for some reason . Just a new pin and soldering would suffice, but your solution will definitely keep you safe !!
