No alternator output. Easiest cause - poor connection at the two-wire plug on the rear side of the alternator, clean it and bend the tabs to give better contact. Next is bad regulator or diode pak in the alternator. Both cheap and easy to replace but you hafta unship the alternator from the coach. A good parts house should be able to supply you the diode pak and the regulator. Ad a set of brushes, they're cheap. Take it apart, replace regulator and diodes (keep the takeouts, one or both might be OK). Take some crocus cloth to the slip rings, then note how the wire in the brush assembly keeps them out of the way until the thing is reassembled. Greas the back bearing and put it back together. Option - buy a lifetime warranty rebuild from Advance, Keep the receipt and every time it quits (it will) go get another one.
