Hi all. Well, I did it.
The scooter would not charge the battery. I had to use an external charger every night. The battery would last for about 2 days, and go below 11.6 volts. Then the scooter would not start.
The problem turned out to be a spade terminal lug in the molex connector for the resistor/heatsink. It was pushed back, and was not making contact. I was able to remove the resistor/heatsink for testing without having to remove any panels at all.All you need to remove it is is a 10mm wrench.
It should read about 673 ohms in one direction.
I also found that same kind of a problem with the fuse that controls the radiator fan. The fuse block connectors were pushed back.
Needless to say, I am a very happy camper. I hope all this helps someone else.
