Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!
I removed the battery bracket to remove the battery so I can change the plugs and discovered a blue wire disconnected. (See the attached pic.) My guess is the previous owner accidentally pulled it loose when installing the new battery. I welcome suggestions on where it's supposed to be connected!
this is the electrolyte sensor wire, i usually connect it to the solid orange wire on the turn signal relay (small square box clipped to the battery hold down) this will make the annoying red light go out on the dash...
I've looked at moving that wire in the past but my question is.
Do you have to leave that in line resister or whatever it is attached? Just clip off the electrode that goes inside the battery and leave the component attached?

That's not an inline sensor it's a bullet connector used to put two wires together. You can unplug it using a couple of needle nose pliers and replacement connectors can be had at any automotive supply stores. If you need to lengthen the wire to attach it to a turn signal that's the way to go. The connectors male and female can be crimped and don't need to be soldered.
OK. Yeah I just looked at it last winter briefly but not long enough I guess to reconize it as a connector. I'm familiar with those. Previos Owner must have been in there because mine is completely heat shrunk. not your typical rubber dust/weather boot. This is why I assumed it was something soldered in line. Thanks for the info.
