Greetings from Down Under! I hope someone can help me identify and explain the wiring coming out of the stator on my Rancher.
The battery is not receiving a charging voltage when running the engine and I'd like to check the stator. Youtube clips I have watched show you can measure the AC current/voltage coming out of the stator (when it is working properly) as it goes into the rectifier/regulator. But all the clips I have seen only show two wires coming out rom the stator, but I have four...
I have two light yellow, one red and one black wire. I think the black is ground as it leads to the body of the stator, an the two yellows are probably the stator wires but I'm confused about the red wire.... It does not go to the connector for the rectifier/regulator...it goes into the harness and to the next connector. so What does it do?
And the connector to the rectifier has four wires - the two yellow, the black and a purple wire. The purple wire goes into the harness and to the next connector, I assume on its way to the battery. And YES, I know it is loose.
I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could help me with some advice and tips here. Thanks.
