My battery isn't charging and i've been following www.electrexusa.com/Images/fault_finding.pdf to diagnose the issue. The first two R/R voltages checked out, but when checking the switched +12V wire leading to the R/R, i'm getting a reading of .84V (.2V is allowable according to the flowchart). This leads me to:
'Bad connection from the battery(+) through the ignition switch to the switched +12V supply-input on the R/R. Check the whole electrical circuit. This is one of the most difficult faults to find [YAY!!!]. Suspect the ignition switch itself, the fuse-box and its connections. ...]
I've cleaned all of the fuse connections, the junction box connections, the battery leads, and the connections in the headlight enclosure. Nothing I've done has brought the reading down.
So... I should suspect the ignition switch? Are there any other problematic connections I should check? Has anyone had this issue and resolved it by replacing the ignition switch? Someone please give me some hope. I generally hate smilies, but :BLAM: fits perfectly.
Thanks.
