electrical trouble jinma 224

I agree with Rich's suggestion as the next step.

If it turns out to be transient in Rich’s test, I would suggest doing the same test with the light beginning at the starter (source) end.
Check wire 2 at the Ammeter fuse, if transient there also – check wire 2 at Connector.
Check wire 3 at the Ammeter fuse then at the Connector.
If still haven’t found it you will need to check at the Ammeter itself.

I found teh problem. I did as you said with a 12v break light. The problem was in one of the plastic conectors that comes out of the amp meter. Thank you very much. This forum is the best I have ever used. When I bought this tractor I did not know much about tractors. I knew that a jinma tractor was not the best tractor in the world but it was what I could afford. I also knew that there was going to be maintenance issues. With the help of this forum I have been able to fix every problem on my tractor. I have also helped others with there problems as well. thanks again for all the input. Robby

I want to thank Rich. I had never heard of transient and I thought that if you had 12V at a wire, it was "checked".

Glad to hear you got it fixed, Robby.

Glad I could pass along that bit of info, Ron. Transients can be really confusing when all you have is a voltmeter and no way to test for ampacity. Those old fashioned testers with the light bulb were actually better in some ways since they didn't respond to transient voltages.

I actually checked it with the old fashion
Light first. Every thing lit up. There was
Enough amps to turn on the small bulb.
It was a bit confusion. But when I changed
To a break tight nothing worked.
Thanks again for the lesson on transient
Power. Robby
