12. Remove the battery box; open the battery box by removing the 9 screws on the underside of the battery box.
Now, disconnect the 2 white circuit breaker wires from the batteries.
13. Measure Resistance across the terminals on the circuit breaker.
•
Less than 10 ohms – Go to the next step.
•
Open – Replace the circuit breaker.
14. Check continuity across the circuit breaker wires. Remove the positive (red) terminal and the negative
(black) terminal wires from the batteries and check continuity across each wire. Replace wires as necessary.
15. Remove the power harness from the (VR2) power module. Check continuity across both the positive and
negative wires from the connector to the spring loaded connections in the bottom of the battery box.
Note: When checking continuity, visually inspect wires, connectors, and pins for any damage and to make sure
the pins are seated properly in their connectors.
SCENARIO 2: Batteries Will Not Charge (VR2 Charging Test)
NOTE: Battery chargers will not charge the batteries unless the battery voltage is 18VDC or above and there is
a closed circuit between the batteries. The circuit breaker completes that circuit.
Make sure that the circuit
breaker is reset.
If necessary, use a set of known good batteries.
1. Check the voltage across pin 1 (+) and pin 2 (-) on the charger XLR connector.
Note: The charger must be plugged in and turned to the on position.
•
Greater than 24VDC – Go to the next step.
•
Less than 24VDC – Try another wall outlet or known good charger.
Do not touch either of the multimeter probes on the third pin or the XLR connector cover.
You may damage the charger.
2. Remove the seat and the battery box. Open the battery box by removing the 9 screws on the underside of the
battery box.
Note: The battery box must be installed to perform the following testing procedures.
3. Make sure that the batteries are connected according to the battery connection diagram on the inside of the
battery cover and/or on page 21. Check the batteries and cables for corroded or loose terminals. Clean and
tighten if necessary.
4. Measure voltage across the battery negative (black) terminal and the battery positive (red) terminal.
•
Less than 18VDC – Load test and replace batteries as necessary.
•
Greater than 18VDC – Go to next step.
•
0VDC – Go to step 9.
5. Unplug the battery harnesses from the (VR2) power module. Measure the voltage across pin 1 and pin 2 of
the power module. Place the red meter lead on the positive pin 1 and the black meter lead on the negative pin 2
of the power module.
Note: The charger must be plugged in and turned to the on position to perform the testing procedure.
•
Greater than 24VDC – Test the battery harnesses for continuity and replace as necessary.
•
0VDC – Go to the next step.
