So I'm fairly new to RE's and I've figured out why the headlamp switch doesn't work, but in doing so I found a couple of connectors in the left hand fuse box that I'm trying to figure out what they are/do. One is a 6 pin connector, with 3 pins actually connected to wires and the wire colors are red/white gray and black. The other is a wire coming off of the large connector harness and it's had a green sheathed female single plug connector attached to it.

so nobody knows what those wired do? or am I asking a question that I should be able to find easily?

I don't own a C5 and I haven't found any unconnected wires in the left side fuse box on my G5.
I have found several unplugged electrical connectors on my bikes ECU but I know they are there to plug in the computer analysis equipment or for running the ECU self test procedure.

My basic thought about your unconnected connectors is if everything is working like it should, don't worry about it.  Just tuck them some place where they can't rub or be cut by some sharp metal edge.

For the headlight.

As to the rest... not a clue yet. My Enfie electrical manual is on my birthday wish list. 10 days in case anyone... you know.. feels the need to send a complete stranger a 34th b-day present :P

Cheers and post what you find out!

PS the video says G-5 but it's exactly the same for the C-5 2012 Military, so I think it's a standard setup.

thank you gentlemen for the help thus far. I'm trying my best to figure this one out. I've spent the last little bit looking to see if maybe the c5 has a computer plug as well. Last night I went so far as to hit the connector with a multimeter and fiddle with different switches to see if I got voltage off of one of the pins thus far nothing notable.

A picture could give a clue.

Otherwise it sounds like the connectors to check the computer. Thus of no relevance to us. On my bike they're on the right hand side and I tuck them in the right hand deco panel.

The electrical manual is the primitive version of the electrical automatic.

It has few moving parts and no batteries are required but you do occasionally have to wind it up or it won't work. :)

I was just informed that it will have pages, but they will not auto populate, and updates are not available.

I take the above comments to mean the manual is crap? Dang. Well, good thing it was literally at the end of my wish-list, and being cheapest, probably the one gift I'll actually get!

Green sheathed female connector is used for MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) codes when there is an engine problem - by grounding it.

The 6 pin connector with 3 wires is for on line computer.

They are shown in G5 in this video -

I meant it as a serious question.  What electrical manual?  I've never heard of such a thing...

Maybe he is referring to the miniature electrical schematic that comes with the owners manual ?

You can get a larger version of that in B&W or color from NFieldGear.

Oops. I realized I said "enfie" Should a said Haynes. http://nfieldgear.com/enfield-store/maintenance-repair/manuals/haynes-motorcycle-electrical-manual.html

Right now I'm just using the schematics that come with the owners book.

Get the big schematic that NFG sells. I think it's a bit pricey, but at least it's legible, which is more than I can say about the owners manual or shop manual versions!
