Hi everyone.

Not been on here for a while.  Just getting the mower ready for the the grass cutting season so I thought I would tidy up the wiring behind the dashboard.

I`ve downloaded the wiring diagram and sorted out everything bar the A C supply to the headlights, I cant work out the reason for A C for the headlights,

must they be connected or can the wire be left doing nothing?

Any help would be much appreciated

the idea of AC for the lights is so when the engine stops the current draw stops. Therefore you can't flatten the battery, you can use the AC terminals or go straight to the battery - its your choice.

 

We always go straight to the battery...

Hi Meadowfield.

Thank you for your reply and advice.

I think I will go with your idea and go straight to the battery. Do you mean that the A C wire goes  direct to the battery terminal ?

Look forward to your reply.   Colin

I would say no, there should be two circuits if I recall One is DC with an inline rectifier (look for a lump in the wire) the other circuit is  AC. You cannot connect this straight to the battery - it will burn out the coil.

 

Here is the wiring diagram...

Hi Meadowfield,

Will it be O K to leave the A C wire not connected to anything?

Regards Colin.

P S Thanks for the wiring diagram.
