Where does this go?

[sundial]

So I finished my ride on the Globe and looked down and saw the 2 wires that came loose from the prong male things. I went online to Specialized and they didn't have any tech info on the Globe, much less the head light so I called them and they told me to contact the manufacturer of the headlight. Meanwhile, I'm plugging it into the first and second, second and third, first and third male part things and the headlight is working as well as the tail light. My concern is if it's plugged in wrong will it short something out?

Can anyone help me?

I have an old moped that has lots of the same type of connectors and they are always coming loose. In lieu of a wiring diagram, I have found that you can often tell where they're supposed to go by the way the wires are bent. In your pic, it looks to me that the wire on the left connects to the top prong, and the wire on the right connects to the middle prong. Totally unscientific, I know, but that's my gut feeling.

Is there a positive or negative sign marked on either the connectors or the prongs?

I'm so glad I read this thread! I just reassembled my bike after my ride in California and trip back to Norway. I have the same (or at least a very similar) ring thingy left over. Could not work out where it went, but there's definitely something off with the steering. Now I can see if my ring thingy is the same as yours and if that solves the problem. What a relief that would be!

No, but there's a lightning bolt just above the front male prong thing, on the side. Me thinks I need to plug in one thing there. Now for the other one....

Now I can see if my ring thingy is the same as yours and if that solves the problem.

Isn't this fun? LOL! I hope you find the spot for the missing ring thingy.

My Schmidt hub has the same sort of connectors. If it works, you have matched things up correctly. It's not going to short out.

THANK YOU!!

I was worried I was going to mess it up.

I was trying to reconnect stuff and I did just like wackyjacky said and then I spotted the hidden connector clear in the back. Then I started second guessing myself.

Ok, pulled up the spec sheet and it looks like I can hook the second connecter to either the middle or rear thing. Anyone that doesn't have brain fog, tell me if it's so. Scroll down 3/4 page to the Lumotec N2 stuff.

It's German engineering at it's finest. You know the Germans, they make great stuff.

Hard to tell from your pic: Are both wires black, or is there one black wire, and one black & white wire? From the diagram for the N (not N2), the black & white one would be the ground ("mass" or "earth" they call it) and would plug onto the middle prong. The solid black wire would be for the current and would plug onto the top (lightning bolt) prong.

But it sounds to me like you've got it hooked up correctly.

Wacky, both wires are black so I guess it's fine to plug it into the first and second prongs. At least that's what it looks like to me. Thanks for taking a peek at the diagram.
