Hello, I show everything in the video. The checked switch is functional!!! Every time I press the brake there is no reaction from the starter. The red emergency stop LED lights up continuously. The scooter had an alarm installed, but someone cut the wires. After removing the plastic at the front, I have a plug like the one shown in the video, what is it for?
I unscrewed the tilt and fall sensor and moved it. Nothing has changed. I can drink the fall sensor and nothing changes?

First place to check is the starter relay and integrated fuse

The red cutoff switch should always be left in the run position under normal conditions

^Exactly, hence my earlier post OR somebody really messed things up by adding the alarm.

Fwiw, the original Piaggio alarm (optional accessory) plugs into the main harness located behind the right side fairing. Fully plug and play, no cutting required.

You should probably verify the bike wasn't stolen, just in case, to avoid major legal problems.

I bought the motorcycle from the company, I have an invoice and documents. Two keys and a remote control for the alarm. Someone cut the alarm cables. I see that the wires are routed to the throttle, the plug is connected to it.


I have an alarm as shown in the picture. It's possible that someone connected it and cut off this key?

I checked the fuse and the tilt sensor, they are OK. I don't know where to start anymore

Does anyone have an electrical diagram for the Piaggio MP3 500 2015 year Sport.
Where do these two wires from this key go?

Maybe I'm missing something here? What plugin is this? The front of the scooter under the plastic.

If you are sure the hidden fuse in starter relay is ok, sometimes looks ok but is not, then see manuals below.

That plug is for the optional PMP module (accessory).

You do not need this module to make the bike run.

FWIW, I have the exact same alarm system. And just as with the PMP module, the alarm module is a optional accessory and is not required to be present to make the bike run.

Take a pic of these cut wires you are referring to.

One more thing, have tried pulling either or both brake levers on the handlebar while starting? This is a requirement to enable the starter to function

On the emergency shut-off switch, press the bottom of the switch on the run side of the rocker and see if the normal start sequence will work
