Hi All,
My electronic problem is continuing to elude me. Thats not saying much
since I have never wired anything except a room or two on some houses
over the years. With that said I have been having trouble keeping my
battery charged over the past 4 or 5 months. Gold Rush has 220
delightful hours on her, but lately she's just not charging the
battery, or maybe I have a drain somewhere that wasn't there before. I
have replaced the regulator, and the big blue capacitor. After
charging the battery today I went out and bought a new voltage meeter.
I checked the battery 1st to be at 12.5 volts, I checked the 30 amp
fuzes and they are good. Last week I did find a loose ground and fixed
it but to no avail. Today I check the output of both alternator wires
as they we're connected at the GG connections to the regulator and
they we're reading - 6.5. when connected. When disconnected from the
regulator they didn't have a reading at all. Is that normal?
I also checked the +B output to see if it was sending a charge and it
read only .53 volts.
If any of you have advise to this non understanding electronics guy
that would like to be flying charged to safely get to sun-n-fun let me
know.
Thanks In Advance!!
