So it all started when I took my battery out to put on my battery tender. It said it was full and whatnot but when I put the battery back in my electric starter nor my turning signals work well. (Not like they were at least) is it the battery or a connection issue?
-
Using a tester, what's the voltage reading of your battery?
-
like most batterys you stell need to have high cranking amps. If the starer and lights work and the horn.
thats good but you stell need to have high cranking amps to turn the scoot over.also check your fuse.
and make sure when you hook up that tender the wires are on top of the post not on bottom.
-
Blue, the horn and electric starter don't work. And how do you check the fuse? I'm sorry I'm new to this lol and I will try to find a battery tester to use!
-
the fuse is down by the battery. its clear glass and has a wire going threw it. if the wire is broken the fuse is no good. you can pick up a fuse at any bike shope and also if you have a radio shake down there they might have one just take in the old with you . you can go a little bigger in size.
-
you can go a little bigger in size.
No! :o
-
"you can go a little bigger in size."
No No NO NO NO NOPE! Do not go any larger in rating. Every 1amp bigger on the fuse allows TEN times the amount of heat/current to the component. If it is blowing there is a reason. Remember the old style fuse boxes at home that you could fit a penny into? Of course you don't. They ALL burned to the ground. Test the battery voltage with the key off, then with the key on, and finally with the scoot running (if you can get it to run)
Post up the voltages, and we can help more.

Blue's scoot has 30 amp fuses!!!... :o :o :o

It's the only way to melt the seat. I still have a twenty spot on that one.
-
Well I was looking at the manual and it says like remove the negative then positive, I may have did this in reverse order. Would that mess anything up?
-
It could potentially damage the rectifier. Removing the ground first opens the circuit, and the electrons "dump". Removing positive first leaves a "loaded" wire, and the current can race to ground causing an overload on sensitive electrical parts. It is VERY rare that you would have any ill effect from reversing the steps but I would keep it in mind as a rule of thumb for future reference.

All make me cry... sorry for stearing you wrong... I know I have been rideing my scoot for like 4 years with a bigger fuse but only like a 2 sizes bigger.

That is equal to 100 times the raw current. 10x10 NOT 10+10. I'm upping my wager to 1,000,000.00 on the seat.
