Help! No power!

[J4Fun]

Yes! The other end is very close by…

[stang07]

apparently, the other end doesn't exist. I have no idea why it's missing. It's ran great, for the last 3 years.

[J4Fun]

I see that rubber cover in the picture protecting connections the other connector could be in there. Hope I’m helping here…

[stang07]

Nope. I can't find it. I may just make a jumper from the connector to the Negative terminal on the battery?

Do you have a volt meter? Check power at terminal with ignition off, and then with ignition on. Post the values.

What terminal?
Are you suggesting load on the battery (voltage across the pos/neg)?

No lights, no power seems more like fuse or disconnected fitting than low battery charge.

This forum has been undermined with new members that post useless or misleading info, often with pages of vacuous garbage that sounds like it could be right. I try to remain humble. i know my limits.

We need to maintain a skeletal structure of real, reliable info. Hey, not always right, but I don't post responses outside of my wheelhouse.

Thank you for the thumbs up.

I'm one of those noobs. I'm trying to figure my shit out. Sometimes I just blurt out thoughts especially when the topic is relatable. I apologize for making things confusing.

I deleted my previous post.

I can't be sure, but I don't think he was referring to you or me. If he was, well, that's just downright passive aggressive.


I used to censor my thoughts...until I realized I was censoring my thoughts. Now I just let 'em fly and if I'm wrong, no sweat. I've never had a problem admitting when I'm wrong. It's the only way we learn, is it not?

[Thumper]

No way...You guys aren't new !

And you don't come off as punching above your grade. The main reasons I try to stick to stuff I have clue about is that I won't mislead folks and make a fool out of myself, and I don't want to contribute to the confusion. I delete my mistakes if they turn out to be stupid

Opinions and suggestions are fine, but a couple of these new members spout off like they are certified motorcycle mechanics with decades of experience, even while they don't even know the difference between a valve and a carb slide! Teenagers probably.

[Do©Hawk]

I'm never afraid to admit that I'm wrong. It happens often.

I posted my relatable problem, but named parts incorrectly, then added a picture and was wrong about what it was...I figured all this out on my own after my post. It was better off deleted to avoid more confusion.
I am not a mechanic and certainly not an engineer so while I know enough to "git'r'dun", I don't always convey it well. I was completely new to motorcycles less than a year ago. I am enthusiastic about it though.

That reminds of one of the greatest quotes I ever heard at a 12 step meeting.
