Shacka Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 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? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 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. Quote
Shacka Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Posted October 4, 2007 I am pretty sure it needs to be re-attatched to the stator. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 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... Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited October 4, 2007 by Bansh-eman Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 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. Quote
Shacka Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Posted October 4, 2007 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 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.

nunyabinness Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 if i remember correctly it should be connected to a donut connector that is then held down by a screw. Quote
Shacka Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 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? Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 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. Quote

Problem is I do not have a clue to as where the heck the thing needs to be re-attached? 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. Brandon Quote

Brandon 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. Quote

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. Brandon Quote
