As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

i put a shindegen r/r that another member sent me..

the green sense wire only works when grounded...with a short rev(4k maybe) it goes to 16 v easily..and 13-14 at idle..

if the sense is connected to 12v it blows the fuse

the red is right to the batt

what am i doing wrong
 
Hi,

The standard Honda Shindengen unit has six wires. The green is the ground. The black is the "sense" wire. See the diagram in the electrical section of my little website.

Thank you for your indulgence,

well i tired to check out the r/r pdf...but it says 404 not found...

the r/r was labed as black-ground and green-sense

thanks for your help cliff...ill go swap some wire an post results later
 
It was labeled wrong -- green is ground, like house wiring. Black is the sense wire.

Make sure you hook the sense wire to a good switched positive. If you just leave it hooked up to the battery, it will slowly drain your battery. You can hook it up directly to the battery temporarily for testing, of course.

Bear in mind that if there's a voltage drop at the sense wire, the R/R will overcharge. Use a volt meter to find a good place to hook this up -- you may need to clean up the switch contacts in your ignition switch and various connectors along the way. If you've added a relay to power the coils, you can use that for the sense wire.

These R/Rs are pretty tough -- hooking them up wrong usually doesn't fry the regulator.

I've had to fix a few busted links on my little website recently. I think my ISP is trying to tell me something, like buy an upgrade package. I'll fix that link ASAP. If you notice anything else please let me know.


Thank you for your indulgence,

On the 6 wire Shindengen ones I've installed in the past it didn't matter whether the sense wire was hooked up or not so you might just be able to leave it off....

Not sure if they were the exact model you have there though :)

On the ones I had it was the middle connector in the right hand block (with the three on the left being the stator connectors) viewed from the top.
 
well i swapped wires and guess what...low 13 v at idle...and around 14.5-14.8 at a rev...

thanks for the help

now my oil pan gasket leaks...hoo-rah

and cliff the clutch odd ends dont work either
