What is this connector?
07/17/14 at 06:45:09
Hello all, i can't figure out how to post pictures so i'm referring to the black connector that goes under the seat close to the passenger seat. it has three yellow wires. the top two terminals inside are oriented vertically and the bottom one horizontally. i hope that makes sense...
first some background info:
Some time ago, this connector was probably in the wrong place because it had unplugged on its own while riding a couple of times, and whenever this happened it felt like there were charging issues or battery issues.
more recently the bike had been giving battery issues for a couple of weeks: i couldn't use the headlight otherwise it would not start later... had to charge it in the morning sometimes... things like that... so i know i need a battery.
Yesterday i was riding home and the bike just felt like it had some electric problem... stalling a bit, the engine stopped running at one point but i was going downhill so i was able to bumpstart it... then it stopped again and that was it
The starter would not turn... just sort of gave out that clicking noise when your battery hasn't enough juice....
I jumpstarted it and it came alive fine.. but when i gave it gas it would stop again. I tried that a few times... it seemed ok in idle but stopped when i tried to give it gas.
I looked under the seat and thought that black connector we mentioned was giving trouble again... It looked "plugged in" but i thought i'd check, so i tried unplugging it and it was very hard to do... when i got it unplugged i noticed the bottom terminal (horizontal one) looked as it had fused into the black plastic. Didn't look completely melted but just a bit.
What exactly are those yellow wires? where do they come from? what do they do? I know for a fact i should first get a new battery, but is there something else i should look into regarding these wires? thanks for all your help.

You can find lots of cool stuff in the Technical Section if you look there. Here is a diagram that is listed in the Table of Contents under the "Electrical" heading.

If you want a picture instead of a diagram go to the tech section, the top part, where it says " The Savage Companion Photo CD is here...". Download the pictures. Open the electrical folder and look at the one labeled Voltage_Regulator_1.
The three yellow wires are from the alternator and go to the voltage regulator. A bad connection in that area would certainly cause electrical problems. And there are other pictures if that is not the connector you are referring to. Once you find it let us know which one it is and someone can probably help you.

+1..
Yup,.. those wires charge yer' battery... clean the contacts, and plug them back in...
If the connector is weak, use a zip tie to hold the connector together...

Thanks everyone for your kind replies. I removed the passenger seat and i found out those wires of course went from the alternator to the regulator... I changed the battery but the problem is its not charging. tried a different regulator and same thing. 12.5 volts engine off.... 12.3V engine idling and 12.4V at about 5K RPM. So i'm not sure what to check next. I started a new topic about too if you wanna chime in... Thanks again everyone.
