Light has a positive and negative. The cord has a positive and negative. The motor has positive and negative. There should be a ground coming from the motor.
This is either the 9.0 amp or the 10.5 amp which means you have a drop in motor and most the wiring is inside the drop in motor. The positives would tie together there usually black, red or blue. The negative All connect together. White, black with white stripe, red with white stripe. Yellow is either ground or negative. |

What group do I connect the yellow wire (ground?) to? |

And I think the problem you are having may be that your machine is wired properly but the bulbs you bought are for 120 volts, so 12 volts won't do much for them. All Kenmore PNs to my knowledge used 120 volt double contact bayonet bulbs. |

Incidentally, converting from 12v to 120v bulbs is not straight-forward in terms of the light bulb socket. A double contact 12v bulb has the bayonet pins offset so it can only be installed one way, a 120v bayonet socket does not have offset pins. Besides, I think most 12v bayonet vacuum bulbs are not the double contact ones, but the single contact ones.

MadMan, I did not notice that. The bulb I have has aligned pins, must be a Kirby. I shall check in the morning. Take care. |
