Problem
1. Make sure lights are not burned out.
2. Disconnect the braking lead (green) from
the wiring harness.

Not For Resale
Conclusion
1. Replace burned out lights.
2. If voltage is 35 volts or more, stator is
OK. Circuitry on unit that grounds braking
lead is shorted.
If voltage is less than 35 volts, test
stator using an ohmmeter (Test 3).
3. If resistance is approximately
0.2-0.4 ohms, stator is OK.
If resistance is 0 ohms, stator is shorted.
Replace stator.
If resistance is infinity ohms, stator or
lighting lead is open. Replace stator.
