Before I start on my problem I'll run down what I have for a sled and what I'm working with.
98 SRX 700 converted to 2000 electronics
LED tail light from 4 stroke Phazer
Stock cylinders & heads
Stock tach
I had a chance to finally try my conversion out last night with a short run around a couple of trails,been waiting impatiently to see how the updated electronics would work.I had a tail light issue that I traced down to a broken ground wire tonight and fixed that,the headlights work fine both high and low beam.
On to the issue for starting this thread,when I first start the sled there's the normal delay in the headlights until the relays power up the system but I did notice that the 3 flashes of the temp light for the diagnostics is only showing me 2,it isn't energizing fast enough to catch all 3.
The other thing I noticed was that when I switch to high beam the tach loses it signal for a split second then goes back to normal.The really strange thing is as long as I don't shut the engine off it only happens the once,if I switch back and forth from high to low beam again the tach doesn't flinch it reads properly.But if I shut the engine down and then restart it the first time I switch from low to high beam the tach has the same momentary lose of signal;it's almost as if something has to energize or charge up.
Here's what I have done so far to try and sort this out,I have a couple of spare codensors so I changed one at a time to eliminate them from the electrical system and a possible cause.
I removed the wiring harness ground and cleaned both the frame and the connector and bolted it back up.
I took both the load control and head light relays out and cleaned the contacts and plugged them back in with dialectric grease on the plugs.
None of these things had any affect.I am new to this electrical system with the relays and only one regulator so if anyone has an idea of what I should check or change feel free to add a your advice.
ps To double check that this wasn't a normal quirk of this new style elctronics I started my 01 and put it through a couple of high to low beam cycles and it doesn't do it so there's an issue with the 2000 electronics somewhere.
