Black wire from stator?

[Shacka]

I got this Banshee last week and the lights dont work. So I did all the

checks and found that this black wire came loose. Problem is I do not

have a clue to as where the heck the thing needs to be re-attached?

there should be another black wire coming out of your wiring harness that it plugs into.

 

this isnt going to make your light come back on but it could have been a culprit in blowing them out.

[Shacka]

I am pretty sure it needs to be re-attatched to the stator.

[Bansh-eman]

i didnt even realize you had picts posted... one sec let me look at your picts and see if i can figure out what your talking about...

[Bansh-eman]

im assuming your talking about the little black wire in the second pict thats off to the right side? sry i dont recall where it soilders too. you might send blowit or Snopczynski a message... they understand electrical pretty well, i know its your ground but i dont know where it goes

If its black, then its the ground wire. It goes on the stator plate. Look for broken solder joints or an eyelet just chillin on the plate. If you cant figure it out, let me know. I have a customers motor apart in the garage and I can look at the stator plate.

Please take a look at what you have. I am "assuming" that it might go back on next

to the red wire. Its kinda coaroted around there.

if i remember correctly it should be connected to a donut connector that is then held down by a screw.

Ok this was right, I found it and soldered the wire back on. Still no lights though

Checked the ohms on the yellow and black leads and non, so I am thinking now that

the stator is shot. Any suggestions before I go and purchuse a after market one?

[Snopczynski]

I dont know what the yellow wire ohm check should be. The black should be 0-1.6 ohms to the timing plate or anywhere on the bike when installed for that matter. If its not, then something is still wrong with the ground.

Because the stator is not isolated from the motor, that black wire can hook to any firm attachment point on the motor case. You need to check resistance between the yellow output wire and either the engine case or that black wire if grounded. Just because you don't have lights does not mean your stator is bad. If your regulator is shorted to ground internally, this will cause a drain on the lighting system. This would also cause thermal run away in the wire. If you already have the stator in hand, please check from the solder point for the yellow wire right at the stator to eliminate a questionable harness.

Ok I will check the connection of the yellow wire to the startor, it looked good from what

I saw, but I did not really check it physically. I also do not get any ohms from the yellow

wire to the frame either.

The system will generally short showing very low resistance if the stator fails. Open line can sometimes just be a loose or broken wire. YOu can also check continuity from the yellow attachment point on the stator, to the termination connection.
