I just finished the instalation of a new Sparx alternator and solid state Reg/Rec and in the process I disconected and removed the Zenor diod, the capacitor and the assimulator including taping up all their wires and the grounds with them. I have a fully charged good battery but after hooking it all up I get NO lights, no turn signals , nothing etc etc...I have ground from the batt to the frame/ engine etc. Does anyone have a clue what ai should check I also rewired my mini turn signals if that matters. I'm clueless here as to where to start looking. Except for the gun to put a hole in my head with???????
No lights after Sparx install???

Something fundamental is amiss. Let the Alternator, stator and rec/reg unit feed the battery. Now let the battery feed the ignition switch and from that feed the system. It can really simplify things to think of these things separately.
If nothing else, this may give a differant perspective.

No kidding. I have seen that smoke for sale before but allways felt like I had a good enough grasp on this stuff not to need it. Now I'm begining to think I should keep som on hand. Thank you L.A.B. I will connect the two Brown/blue wires only & report back.

When I installed my Podtronics, I pulled the old zener diode and cut the connecting brown blue wire..... after I did that, I had no power at all. Nothing. I didn't even try to start it...
I reconnected the blue/brown wire that was attached to the zener (I didn't connect it to the zener) and everything was back to normal.
