Charging circuit test

<< < (2/4) > >>

paul G:
The fault I had as well was one of the phases to ground.
Check all the three yellow wires in turn to ground there should be no continuity.

paul G:
have a look at these they are for the 550 but should point you in the right direction.

mike the bike:
It does sold like one of the phases isn't doing anything, either the rectifier is faulty or the yellow wiring from the alternator is faulty.  Don't overlook the plug going to the alternator.  Do you have access to a multimeter?

stevush:
I do have a multimeter but I'm a relative novice with it. I can check continuity, check voltage readings (thats how I tested volts across the battery) but not much more. Resistance is beyond me I think.. :)

" check for AC voltage on the three pairs of yellow wires that exit the engine into loom"..
Not sure how I'd do that

stevush:
So..
I've disconnected the multiplug connector from the alternator. There are 3 yellow wires from the alternator, I've checked all three and there is continuity to ground on ALL of them.. :-\
