Charging system relay reversal

[victormonopoly]

The previous owner had HD do the "relay fix" and the stator went out on me anyway. I rewound it myself and bought a bullet proof rectifier. I want to take out the fix that was done and go back to how it was wired to begin with having to better components. The wiring is a little confusing seeing as how there seems to be other items that got tied into it. Does anyone know how to do it or is it moot?

Once disconnected you can reconnect the stock routing of the wires. The engineers knew what they were doing in parts selection, you can only reconnect it in one way, the right one.

I did figure it out. I dug around and found the service pages for installing it. What I was mostly concerned about was that the wiring that goes to the ECU led me to believe that a change may have been made firmware wise to adapt to the change. Service documents showed no such thing, so, unplug, unplug, unplug, plug, plug, done. Those are all verbs by the way.

I thought it was the stator itself that kept going out .... not the rectifier ... you wound it yourself ? ... I thought the fix was in the rotor itself to spray more oil on the stator to keep it cool and prevent overheating ...

The proper fix is an oiling rotor. If it is too late you have to replace the stator, and to prolong its life it is often rewound with higher temperature wire. HD was too cheap to pony up for the proper fix, so they developed an updated wiring harness "band-aid" solution.
