Default Diagnose SV Electrical Problems - easy as123

Hi guys. I've had a bit of electrical trouble. Did some scouring of the internet. Though I would share my results.

This doc should help find faults in 5mins with:
  • Battery / dead batteries
  • Rectifier / Regulator
  • Alternator / Generator / Stator

Hope it helps you get back on the road asap and off the internet/haynes/suzuki manual.


PS any updates / comments / suggestions let me know and ill happily modify & update

Also this "Don't kid yourself at this point, low voltage = dead reg."

is wrong. Several things can cause low voltage

Not trying to be awkward but those could catch some people out and cost them money unnecessarily. Except for small errors good guide and good idea

not to take anything away from the named people in the doc but this forum is full of people with knowledge in this area. Might be advisable to post a question rather than PM.
