My Raizin Pivot stabiliser got disconnected!!!

[Sofarsogood]

Was doing some Diy in my engine bay and discovered the (-ve) cable from my Raizin disconnected from the battery!! Quickly fixed it back. Got shocked a bit by the sparks that flew when I touch the cable to the (-ve) terminal of battery. Anyway, I think it must have been the time when the AA engineer changed my battery, and left the Raizin disconnected.

Nice information ..to go with that what did you have for dinner?

[Sofarsogood]

Ha ha... I actually wanted to ask whether the sparks were normal... guess in a haste, that was left out. BTW, i had fried rice for dinner.

[Kcseah]

Did you do it when the engine is on ?? if yes,that maybe the case the sparks comes from. Anyway, if you can start your car and everything is working fine, should be ok.

[Jamesgetz]

during this time when your raisin stabiliser was disconnected, did you notice the gear change less smooth or engine less eager to rev? if u didn't, it's high time you remove this raisin stabiliser to prevent further mishaps (or potential short circuit in future)

 

raisin is best mixed with cereals not as volt stabiliser

yup the sparks are normal...

 

careful when u touch the live of the battery and accidentally contact the ground/body of the car with the other... will get a numbing sensation

That's a close shave! By the way, are voltage stab really that effective? Had one z-stab installed for trial but so far don't find any decrease in FC. Will monitor for another week before I decide whether to return it for a refund.

Sparks are normal. I get it everytime I disconnect/reconnect the battery to do some DIY. You still get sparks even with the engine off. If it don't spark, it means the battery is dying or dead.

Dont get you leh? After connecting back, it seemed smoother. So what's the logic?

[Benboy78]

Diff brand of vs give u diff feel.

And so do diff value of cap

and some could mix n some could not

[FGY7022]

spark at the positive seems common. but his is at the negative leh... shouldn't have spark rite? i tried my, no spark leh, but positive got spark.

[Kb27]

It depends on what order you disconnect the battery. The correct way is to remove the negative terminal from the battery first, then followed by positive. Reverse order when connecting back. Since the negative is the last to connect, the spark is there at the negative. Spark is just a surge in electricity when the load is connected, nothing to it.

[Benboy78]

mosty will got spark if there r power search

Means in a sec of power searching

(+) or (-) which to which first ,

Also got spark search.

Unless u fix the wrong way then .

Pivot fuse will blowup .( protect the cap )

If not u can heard PENG sound then ,

The cap ass blow a hole

Liquid will flow out too lor. ( Smelly man )
