Cheers Gwhy, last one I think, this is the charging port thats just piggy backed onto the other wires, Is there any problem just sticking them straight onto the battery so I have a off bike charging kit ? The wires are really skinny I take it that must be ok ?
The new relays main wires were on opposite ends (to the old one) at the plug side, I don't know why they swapped the ends round on the new connectors, really stupid idea surely ?
Anyway dug the old relay out and had a good look at it while looking at the old pics and noticed so swapped the 2 cables around on the relay and its now working again.
Just made up some new wires for the rest of it so every things brand new now, removed the charging function to see if that was it, still nothing, I've fired of a email to sandfords asking about there relay because that's the only thing it can be now.
Ok soldered all the wiring but still nothing arghhhhh, ripped the fuse casing apart, everythings ok, replaced with a new one just incase still nothing.
Maybe sandifords sent me a dodgy relay ? what are chances of that you think, are they robust ?
Cheers gwhy, stuck the wires straight onto the battery from the controller and the lights came on , keyswitch, relay and fuse is all brand new so it must be a connector in one of them, ive gave each one a tug and nothings loose or even wobbles, gonna rip the connectors off em all and solder all the wires together.
Well battery's replaced, still nothing, plug the charger in and the light goes green after 5 mins saying its finished charging, re-checked all the wiring everythings connected good.
The only thing left is the motor.
I'm debating cutting all the wires and joining them with solder to eliminate any connectors, good idea ?
Can I unplug the motor just to see if the lights come on ?
I ordered a controller last night so should be here tomorrow hopefully, regardless of anything having spare parts is not much of a problem.
Cheers for the help.
Oh another thing, each connector plug is filled with something, I presume to waterproof it, is this glue out of a glue gun ? Had to rip most of it out to get at the cables so either need to re-do it or properly join all the cables which I'm leaning more towards to be honest.
I have replaced the keyswitch and the relay with new parts and still nothing so we can rule them out.
So now down to the throttle or controller, the throttle is cracked so I'm debating replacing it anyway but any tests I can do ? I took it apart and cant see anything obvious, maybe water got in through the crack I dunno.
Cheers will replace the key switch with one of them, its a pain in ass to reach under for the key.
I never tested the key switch because I'm going to replace it and presumed it must be ok if I'm getting 0 or 25v depending on if its on or off or am I wrong ?
Ok the big fat red wires on the relay, black on battery cable, one of the red cables does give 25v with the key on and 0v with the key off, the other red cable gives 0v either way.
The relays 6 quid so Ill get one ordered tomorrow.
The key switch, from what I can work out is just a simple switch, can I replace it with one of these...
Hi, got the oset out the other day, its been sat in the shed for 6 month and its been really cold here in the UK, tried charging them and the green light comes on to say there done after a few mins, took both batteries out and stuck them on my optimate 4 one by one for around 12 hours each and still nothing, no lights, no click of the relay, nothing, checked all the wiring too.
The batteries are 4 year old so they could do with been replaced anyway but just want to make sure there dead and its not something else, so any tests I can do on the batteries with the multimeter ? I've never used it before.
