It does kind of help charging would the wire from VR actually be connected to the batterySplicing the wire from VR to battery is not really the recommended way to do it. Replace the whole wire.i guess I could also test the wire that goes out of the regulator to.... I think the battery? the wireNot sure if it actually goes to the battery as I didn’t reroute it, I just spliced it.
Haha. Probably. Does the wire go straight from the regulator to the positive terminal in the battery?It does kind of help charging would the wire from VR actually be connected to the batterySplicing the wire from VR to battery is not really the recommended way to do it. Replace the whole wire.
Btw, did you check the fuse or a breaker witch ever you have on the wire between VR and battery? If stator works, VR works still no charging it sounds like fuse or your splice is crap....
Yes. There should be a 40 amp fuse under the left sidecover near the battery. Connect the VR wire there, and do check the fuse is OK. Wire from that fuse goes straight to battery +. If there is a small square box instead of fuse, that would be a breaker. Would be a good idea to replace that with 40 amp fuse. Those breakers are known to cause problems.Haha. Probably. Does the wire go straight from the regulator to the positive terminal in the battery?
Unless you have automatic breaker. Those are pain if trying to figure if there is a short. Them being self setting. Or when those rust inside. I still have a breaker on my -03, been there since -03. works just fine, but it ain’t self setting.All true^ except IMO the breakers work just fine. They are sold and used all over the industry.
The temporary move to a 40A maxi fuse was a poor excuse for a band aid by BDM for a bad VR.
Hopefully I won’t need a new regulator...Yea soldering that wire isn't a good idea, there's a reason it comes at least 6' long. However if you already cut it what are you going to do now?

At this point I would make sure the crimp is excellent and that the wire from crimp to battery is in good shape. No more crimps on route etc.Hopefully I won’t need a new regulator...

Good idea. I’ll give it a shot. I’ll let you guys know when I get home. Thanks again guys!At this point I would make sure the crimp is excellent and that the wire from crimp to battery is in good shape. No more crimps on route etc.
