electrical problem

on my aerox everythings connected correctly exept the rear light which is connected to a live wire so its turns on when the ingnition gets turned on. but today i started my bike reved it and the headlight went white and blew then my sidelights wents followed by my speedo backing light. any ideas what could have caused this. they electrics havent worked right since i bought the bike

 

regulator/rectifier unit is fucked

 

so it got nothing to do with the rear light being connected to the battery and the front light getting to much currunt

 

not unless you've got it all wired into a 24 volt battery.

 

Fuck me Boddy, your Avatar must be ten feet tall! :msn1:

 

yeah, didnt relaise it was gonna be that big removed it now

 

i ran a wire from the live wire in the brake switch to the rear light so it lights up when you turn the ignition on. i can easily change it back if you think it would help

 

yes sir. wobbly_trials dindnt think it would make a difference to the front lights.. this is where the fault is

 

thanks for your comment but if i had the back light connected properly the rear light would have also got fucked

 

re-wiring other parts won't help as it can put extra stress on other electrical parts.


i would get your wiring sorted back to standard and try another reg/rec unit

 

no my rear light is connected to a live wire coming from the brake switch and it works fine. but my front light is connected correctly and keeps blowing because i belive to much currunt is going to it. so 2moro im going to connect the rear light correctly buy new bulbs for the front and try it again if the bulbs blow again it must be the rectifier. thank you for your help MiNoR cOnFuSiOn you've helped me sooo much

 

the only thing that will blow it is voltage, not current.

the only way the voltage can peak above 14v is if the reg/rec unit decides to go tits up.

 

.

thanks i will try that 2moro
