If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

changed my stator only to find out light is still on......not happy .....then i did some wire tracing found a green blue wire with a bullet end with no home after a 1/2 hour of looking at a wire diagram i found it went to the battery i think. but it say there should be a sensor of some sort....can someone explain if this would correct the problem i have an 82 gs 1100ez
U.S model
 
Apparently the battery has been changed to one that does not have a 'home' for the connector.

The purpose of that light is not to indicate charging. :shock:
Its purpose is to let you know when the fluid is low in the battery. There are still some batteries available with connections for that wire, but you are much better off with a sealed battery.

To turn the light off, connect the dangling wire to a switched 12-volt wire. Some have said to use a resistor so it does not see the full 12 volts, but I have not seen the need to do that.

ok but

ok but

my battery has a plug were this so called wire should go ....so do i need a piece for it or does the battery come with it????

I don't know if the dealer or a battery shop might have the adapter to fit the battery. At the worst, you might have to change the connector on it to mate up with the wire that you have.

i cant believe 55 bucks for a stupid sensor

i cant believe 55 bucks for a stupid sensor

:twisted: im gonna hit the wreckers in town but there almost the same price as new parts if not more
 
I always thought the battery sensor was part of the battery!!
 
The battery low water sensor comes in the special (over priced) battery required for this system. I don't think you can buy just a sensor through regular channels. It's just a lead rod with a resistor wired in series.

I got around it by just pulling the sensor out (it's just pushed in) of my old battery, and plugging it into one of the filler holes on a new battery. I had to shorten it to avoid interference with the plates inside the new one.

Your best bet is still just connecting it to a switched power source to turn off the light.
Continue monitoring your battery fluid levels for the next couple of years, then, when it's time to get a new battery, get a sealed one.
Much better battery and you never have to worry about the fluid level. \\:D/
