loose wire

bloogle12 · 03-20-2011, 11:13 AM

I have a 1986 gas ezgo that i just got. I had to rebuild the motor on it. Got it all put back together and noticed i have a loose wire and i am not sure were it goes. Its a green wire that looks like its coming from the regulater and its hanging loose by the starter. Does any one have any idea where it goes or any pics.

Green wire goes to starter DF.

Hey thank you for your reply. I am not real familiar with these starter though and i am not sure what you mean by the DF. I was looking at the starter and there ia 4 red cables. Two on the end which someone has marked with a marker one has a L and the other has a R. Then there is two on the side that are stamped and one says F1 and the other says F2.

Not sure if this will help you since it's not the same year. But scroll to the bottom for a 89 wiring diagram. It shows a green wire going to the starter. Hope this helps.

VictorJohn is correct, the little DF terminal is underneath on the starter/generator. It may be easier to remove the unit to see where the wire goes. Remember that when you reconnect it you should use a thin wrench under the wire to ensure that the stud does not turn which will rip the wire off the inside of the generator and make you cry tears of bitter rage.

The green wire controls the battery charging rate, with it disconnected you will not be charging your battery, if it grounds out the charging voltage will rise to 18 volts and boil your battery dry. It would be good to hook it back up.
