2001 Yamaha Bear Tracker Circuit Relay Issue

[fwsamm]

Im aware that this relay needs a positive (+) and a negative (-) to activate the other side. The blue wire is the neutral wire so when in neutral it gets ground. The green wire is from the parking break; when you pull the break in it gets ground (-). however one of those two needs to be neutral so that the positive from kill switch can go to the starter relay. The ground from the starter relay is from the start switch. Which one (neutral or parking break) should have a positive (+) voltage?

Do you know that little "triangle and bar" that's shown inside the relay, is a diode ?

It only lets power through one way.

Can you please tell me if this is the diagram I would use to figure out what all the wires on my Kill Switch Assembly go to? I don't have a kill switch on my 01 Bear Tracker 250 and the parts are discontinued. most of the compatible ones that I have found don't have all the same wires (mine tends to have more) and the connectors are different. I'm not experienced enough to know how to remedy this issue. I thought that i could just pull the brass terminals out and get connectors that match up and reconnect it that way, but I don't know if that will work as mine I believe has 8 wires and most of the others have 6-7. my original had a 6 pin connector with brown, yellow, bue, blue with black, green, black and a 2 pin connector with red with black and red with white.

Yes that would be the one ,it tell you which color wire goes where if you get an OEM switch, but aftermarket switches dont always come with the same color wires as OEM so you have to figure out which wire goes where by taking the switch apart ans visually inspecting.

You can test the internal workings of an aftermarket switch with a multimeter. Use the continuity buzzer to figure which wires are connected by which switch/button. Then use that knowledge to match the new switch up to the wiring diagram's switch schematic.. That's the box diagram of each switch showing what's contacted by bars when it's on or off.

If you do dismantle a switch be very careful not to loose the tiny springs or balls from inside it.
