GolfVenture Posted May 4, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2012 I was adding some acessories and needed to move some wires around near the battery, when this one broke off. The wire comes from the accessory side of the OEM fuse box and goes into what looks like and EOM retangular male/female plug and the single wire is white with a red stripe. The broken piece fell down and I've not been able to get it out yet. The wire from the Accessory side of the fuse box to the connector was spliced and a couple of what looked like a 2 inline resistors were added. the thin wire that connected the two inline resistor broke. The added resistor could not be OEM for it was crimped on. Anyone have any ideas as to why these 2 Resistors were added. And then maybe I don't need it?

GolfVenture Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share #2 Posted May 4, 2012 I retrieve the fallen piece and was able to undo the crimps and it is just one Resistor (I think that is a Resistor). Been looking at the Wiring schmetic and I can find some W/R wires but can't read much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted May 4, 2012 Share #3 Posted May 4, 2012 Don't have book handy but has battery phrobe fix been done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted May 4, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) I think some people put a resister in the battery sensor wire to eliminate the sensor when they have installed a sealed battery, and cannot use the sensor. check out this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=489 Edited May 4, 2012 by saddlebum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted May 4, 2012 Share #5 Posted May 4, 2012 Don't have book handy but has battery phrobe fix been done? Yup! That is/was the battery probe fix. You need to get a new resistor and hook it back up or you will have the stupid red light on the dash yelling at you forever. Don't crimp the resistor to the wires, solder it and cover the connections and the resistor with more than one layer of shrink tubing. Should be good to go for another 20 years.

reddevilmedic Posted May 4, 2012 Share #6 Posted May 4, 2012 what resistor is it? can i find one at Radio Shack? i got one from earl, but, blew it out. so i need to make another. thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrood Posted May 4, 2012 Share #7 Posted May 4, 2012 it's just a current limiting resistor... a 1/8th watt 2.2K Ohm should be quite suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIC Posted May 4, 2012 Share #8 Posted May 4, 2012 Yepper ...Radio Shack.. If you don't have one close by let me know I 'll send you a couple in tomorrow's mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfVenture Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted May 4, 2012 Read Everything. Thanks everyone, I can stop panicing now. Going to Radio Shack this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain the term 'blew it out', that would be very unlikely situation in this circuit to damage a resistor. There is likely only milliamps of current flowing. What would be damaged by doing it without the resistor is an IC in the CMU. Some where there is a fix for replacing this IC. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted May 5, 2012 Share #11 Posted May 5, 2012 I just made a sensor bypass for a customer. The lead on the sensor also has a resistor and as I recall it was in the 6K ohm range. I replaced the whole lead and used a 10K resistor. All was well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfVenture Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share #12 Posted May 5, 2012 So is there a front and a back to a resistor. Meaning is it important which end goes to the fuse box and the other end, to where ever it goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Put it in whichever direction you fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
