Hi guys I was hoping someone could help me with my sons bike, it doesn't appear to be charging and won't switch on...
I have a basic knowledge of things and how to use a multimeter but I just need pointing in the right direction of where to look..
I have plugged the charger into the socket and the socket has a red, black and yellow connection coming off the back of it (see pics) when I was testing for voltage across them, I accidentally put the meter across the yellow and the black cable and the bike powered up, the on off on the bike works and the bike runs fine when those wires are connected through the lead.. (Or any metal creating a conductor) but as soon as I take it off the bike dies again..
I have also chased the cables back to what looks like a 12v switch or transformer feeding the other functions of the bike and which feeds the 2 6v battery supplies... (The red black and yellow leads plug into this)
I know that the red is obviously positive, black negative shut Im unsure what the purpose of the yellow lead is.. I think the charger socket maybe faulty as the yellow and black cable should be connected at the socket and when I put metal across them it completes the circuit? Is this correct...
Otherwise could anyone maybe point me in the direction based on these pictures??
Thanks for your help!
