troubleshooting possible electrical problem
Hi All.. long time lurker but new member & poster....
I have a 2007 Lance Vintage Scooter (Gy6) I am having electrical/battery issues and headlamp issues so I am wondering if the two might be connected. #1 no highbeam- low works just fine but hi-beam.. nothing. I don't think this headlamp has two filaments. (it looks like this http://www.scooterdynasty.com/headli...escooters.aspx #2 Can't start with key-- will kick start just fine but no matter how long I drive it- it doesn't seem to be charging the battery- not even enough to turn the key & move the needles on the gauges. So I'm pretty sure I will be needing a new battery- but I am just wondering if the headlight issue might be related and there might be a bigger problem.. Any thoughts? |
First off: Welcome to the site. :D
Try a new battery. Most headlights are indeed duel filament. If still nothing, try a new VR. pretty cheap, and easy to change. |
Yes like techie610 said you might need a new
Voltage Regulator. If you doin't drive much, keep you'r battery on a 12v charger on low. For some, if not most of us we use this: http://batterytender.com/products/mo...-at-0-75a.html |
Drive it all the time... have a battery tender for when I don't drive it much.
Anywhoo-- battery was bad & as was headlight- it was just a coincidence that they went out at the same time! Thanks for the help! |
