Hi all, my 1150gsa has been giving me elect probs for some time. Thought It would be good to replace the battery as it was about 5 yrs old. Installed new battery and put it on Ctec trickle charge. After a month or so went to start the GS and nothing!!just a faint light on the dash. Thinking the battery was a lemon I took it back to the suppliers and they replaced it no question ( Its a Varta gel battery) They said it had a dead cell. Put in new battery and did the same thing (trickle charged for a few days then go to start it again then.....nothing. Take that one back to suppliers and they replace it again (Dead cell) Third battery now ....go through the same routine.....again stuffed battery.
So this time I get out multimeter put on battery....showing 12.93v but when it hit the start button, it shows .1v. Does that mean DEAD SHORT somewhere in the harness??
Have checked starter motor, pulled apart and shows no signs of arching. A lot of the wiring harness has the outer covering perished which I have recovered with plastic sleeving.
From what I can see there doesn't appear to be any signs of burnt out wires.
What else can I do?or look for?
Thanks in advance,
Billy
