headlights on chime

[etlsport]

heh it would seem so.. it was a 150 amp alternator and the regulator fried so it was putting 17-19 volts through my system.. it fried my rear camera, both headlights, some of the alternator wiring, a few fuses, my battery and power mirrors... only thing left to fix now is this headlight chime


nobody i talked to has a listing for it on the VX... i did find the listing for it on the trooper but its listed as a dealer only item.. guess ill be calling merlin.. i just want to make sure that this is actually the part thats gone bad before i spend the money on a new one.. just the A/C relay was like 30 bucks im a little afraid of how much this little thing will cost (and trying to decide if its worth even replacing)

Check this guys from north bergen in NJ,he's stripping a friend's VX ( london1900 ) he can probably pull the chime for you.

When i think about all what that alternator did to your horse i just have to say you were very lucky the VX didn't catch up on fire eric.

Sorry Eric,

I checked mine. Both the headlight & iggy switch chime work fine so I'm not going to take it apart.

OUCH! talked to merlin.. part is $105 through merlin, and backordered 6-8 weeks

the good news is that rodeos and troopers 95-97 have the same part

That's good news though.
Saturday while in NJ we can hit any junk yark near by & grab one.

I hate to say it, but if you had the kind of voltage and current spikes that would take out your headlights, the solid state circuitry in that warning module most likely didn't stand a chance.

It looked to me though like a few different combinations of inputs could tell you whether the module was operational, and that having an input on each like you listed in your first post wouldn't be necessary. It looks like one combination you could try would be to apply Power (+12 Volts) to terminal (6), Ground to terminal (2), and Ground to terminal (1). If that doesn't work (simulating that your driver's door is open), the circuit is most likely shot.

yep i tested it a few different ways, pretty sure its fried, so i just need to find a VX, a rodeo or a trooper from 95-97 and get a new one, if anyone sees somethin being parted out let me know!

the part number is 8-97135562
