Yeah theres no crossed wires, i tried process of elim. with removing certian wires and everything, so im pretty sure its gotta be the switch or the rectifier.
Edit im happy as ive tracted down both parts which i may need, all i need to do is figure out which one i actually need because id like not to waste my time and money (well moneys not the issue more the time and headache)
So all i gotta do is get an idea from one of you guys
Well it depends on the set up. If the fuse is blown it is obviously getting to much power. Usually a short. Is this set up something you made?Nice wiki snape lol
Im not sure how to make a switch for this thing its on a very... elaborate wiring system which i cant find a diagram for.
Its got like 2 black wires a white and a red wire and pink and another black its very confusing and i cant figure it out. But would a bad rectifier cause a short like that?
If it was a bad switch it wouldnt work at all right?
Oh I didnt see your edit. Its an electric lawn mower for the record, i didnt make it. Switch sounds fine, looks new. The rectifier doesnt look or smell burnt out or anything, but its quite dirty and the plastic on the wires that connect to the rectifier are a little melted. So id assume the rectifier might have burnt out or over heated at some point.
