I checked the voltage at the battery when running ... it’s 14.3v but then why does the battery die? Batteries sure are a mystery . Guess it’s time for a new one

Well I did get it started with the booster! So that’s good news. I recently replaced the stator - and for 14.7v as the output. I’ll check again. I wonder if the battery is just toast? it will take a charge but perhaps isn’t holding it well? Man this electrical stuff is a pain. Thanks for all...

k will def try the battery boost thing. I did check the ground blocks. I found two of them, both looked to be in good shape. is there more?

I think my ecu is fried. Any help... I was wondering if i can test it somehow? I don't know of anyone with an ecu to switch with. I have engine code 43 right now last week engine code 81 came up. but only after the hand warmers were on for a period of time. So now i turn the key and...

@CharlieAZ I'm about to replace mine myself on my 09 venture lite

Yep. one to ground and the red I put to the three wires. Now my meter doesn't read anything when I do this, I do get a beep. But, we've been driving with the headlight not plugged in and it seems ok...for now. I have ordered a new stator.

k so I measured the resistance and got 0.3 all across. checked for grounding and i got the audible sound across all three. So..I'm guessing this means its not good correct?

Btw, do you how I could get my hands on a manual? I think it may come in handy. Thank you

Not sure how to check shorts to ground and I don’t think my multimeter is sensitive enough to check the resistance

I did a running test on the stator and got 48,48,42 volts Not good I’m guessing .

Ya I was just reading another post similar to mine, turns out for him he has to replace the stator. I guess I check the three wires coming from the stator and see what kind of volts I’m Getting? How do I do that? Can I have a bad stator but still get 14.7 volts coming out?

K then new battery it is. So basically what your saying is that the battery will take the volts but not release enough volts to power everything. ?

Check the regulator rectifier again. It’s putting out 14.7 volts, which I think is perfect isn’t it?

Not sure how old it is. Could be original. I guess buying a new one would def a way to go hey.. eliminate that. so it could be that the regulator rectifier is sending the power but the battery isn’t accepting it? But how come it does when lights are unplugged ? I don’t understand the science...

On a multiple day trip when I can’t get it on the battery tender it looses its power. But I have hand warmers and phone plugged in along with the lights .... I’m wondering if going to led lights might make enough of a difference?

With the lights on I get high to mid 12, with lights off I get high 13

I tested the regulator/rectifier it seems ok. Diode test was good and it’s putting out over 15volts

As a follow up, I did the diode test and I think all Is good, it’s also outputting around 15v (the regulator/rectifier that is). So then why isn’t that voltage reaching the battery and yet it I unhook the lights I get 14 v at the battery

So I read a few other threads in here but just looking for confirmation. My venture lite 2009 is not charging my battery adequately. When I unplug the lights the voltage when running, to the battery is 14, but when lights are plugged in it’s barely charging the battery if at all. From what I...

K Thank you! I just took it for a spin and it seems to be switching great!! Thank you for the help!
