Intermittent power
● Main fuse burned out. ● Loose battery connection.
● Faulty ignition switch. ● Loose charging system connection.
● Loose starting system connection.
Low power (Key turned on)
● Loose connection or short circuit in ignition system.
● Battery undercharged. ● Loose connection or short circuit in lighting system.
-Low fluid level.
-Low specific gravity.
Charging system failure
● Charging system failure. ● Loose, broken or shorted wire or connection.

● Faulty A.C generator.
CHARGING SYSTEM
Measure battery current leakage.(⇨15-5)
Check the regulator rectifier.(⇨15-7)
·Battery is failing
·Open circuit in wire harness.
·Poorly connected coupler.
·Shorted harness wire.
·Faulty ignition switch.
·Faulty regulator rectifier.
·Check the charging coil of theA.C
generator.(⇨15-7)
·Faulty regulator rectifier.
·Faulty battery.
Inspect the charging voltage.(⇨15-5)
Check the voltage between the battery line and
ground wire of regulator rectifier.(⇨15-6)
Check the resistance of the charging coil at
the charging coil line of regulator rectifier
coupler.(⇨15-6)
Check the regulator rectifier.(⇨15-7)
