Honda GX690 will not charge battery. Wiring appears to be correct although there are 3 wires not connected to anything. Any suggestions.

SOURCE: Battery want hold charge mechanic advise wiring problem need to know where it could be.

The transmission control unit has gone bad, a very common problem. There is a capacitor in the TCU that goes bad and cause a short on the board. Do not get a used one, they are all bad. A number of people sell rebuilts on Ebay. The TCU is under the Front passengers feet, pull back the carpet and you'll see both the PCM and TCU.

google "accord tcu" or "tcm" if you like

Sounds like time for a new battery. A battery is only good for about two years. Then it starts to loose it's charge quickly and then it will not take a charge. Check the water level in each cell. The water should cover the top of the plates in each cell. No water = no charge. Install a new battery and start the engine. Put a volt Ohmmeter on the terminals as the bike revs to around 2500 rpm. The meter should show 14+ volts. If only 12 or less, the charging system should be checked.

Car just refuses to start

Clicking usually indicates low charge on battery, but it can also be the contacts from the battery to the engine and frame. Check the cables to see if they are not making good contact or corroded--if you are a DIY enthusiast change the battery cables or get a metal-wire brush & wrenches & clean everywhere they connect.

Another preliminary task is to do a wiggle test--wiggle all the wiring you can see under the hood & try restarting to see if there's an intermittant wiring or harness connection problem with anything under the hood. Honda Pilots have problems like this with the main wiring harness.

I have 1999 Mazda sting 1300 hatchback with a battery drain of .98 amp battery flat within 3 days if I pull BTN fuse current drops to .04 amp the alternator test ok sends out a charge voltage of 13.8v and...

Go back to the alternator for the problem as it is connected directly to the battery via the cable. Alternators charge rate is 14.5 to 15.5 volts and if it is only 13.8 volts then that is battery voltage for a good battery and this means that the alternator is not charging which indicates a diode has failed and discharging the battery

Gx690 no spark

if you have no spark ensure no wire is connected to the oil pressure switch or low oil alert switch both are mounted to side of crankcase if so disconnect be sure to check oil filled at the top hash mark and no more approximately 2 quarts.crank engine if still no spark possible chance it may need ignition coil packs and this model may be covered under warranty take it to the nearest honda dealer or call with model and serial located on the base of crankcase next to drain plug.

Bike isnt charging battery

If the battery charged before the "chop job/ignition bypass" and afterward does not, the you have left out a circuit that excites the alternator field. This was most likely part of the original ignition wiring, and you will need a Honda wiring diagram of you bike model and specific year in order to identify the wiring correctly. Otherwise, restore the original ignition wiring and switches, and see if the battery starts charging again. Then work backwards removing only the wiring that you know is not part of the charging system. Through the process of elimination you will discover which wire powers the alternator. It will take time and patience.

I have a blue jet 3 ultra n i just put 2 new batterys on it and all it will do is flash a red light in the top left corner of the battery light on the joy stick and the horn works but will not move what...

Check your battery wiring on the Jet the wires from the circuit breaker need to connect the positive of the front battery to the negative of the rear battery and the other wires connected to the positive of the rear battery and negative of the front battery putting the batteries in series to generate 24+ volts. If you have a voltmeter before you check the wiring set it to 200 volts dc and plug the leads into the 2 outter holes of the charger port located under the front of the joystick. If your batteries are wired correctly you should be reading 27+ volts without the charger plugged in and your batteries fully charged. If you are only reading 12 volts then the wiring is wrong and needs to be fixed. Leaving the voltmeter in the charger port plug in your charger and you should be reading 27 -30+ volts at the charger port anything less than 24 volts indicates your charger is not charging Hope this helps

Driving along the fuse for all the lights blows ,bike charging at 14volts battery is new nd holding a good charge,removed full fairing cant see any damage to wiring

(1) replace all the fuses (2) turn on lights one-by-one and wiggle the connected wires, outside may look good but inside copper wires may be broken (3) if after that still can not find the cause (4) check wires by using an Ohm meter for connectivity, (5) if still can not find the cause, bring to a motor wiring electrician to find it because more damage can be incurred.

turn your vehicle on, disconnect the battery, both terminals(while truck is still on) if it dies on you, then either the alternator is bad or wiring is wrong. if it stays on, then you may have a bad battery or voltage regulator. Check the voltage on the battery before you turn it on(should be from 11.5v-12v), when you turn it on if the alternator if working properly you should have around 13v-14v.

Meltdown of connecting link of rectifier

This is a common problem on all older Japanese motorcycles, it is caused by the connector being unable to handle the current load due most likely a battery that is either failing or in a low state of charge from sitting. I suggest strongly you buy a computer controlled battery maintainer (best ones are made by a company called "Battery Tender") to keep the battery charged up and replace the burnt wiring and the connector with more robust components..
