The past two weekends and evenings in between, I have been swapping out my old, dependable, but high hour Onan Power drawer for a "fully reconditioned" one that came from Kerry Tandy's coach, through Steve Ferguson. Should be 'plug-n-play' right? Not really. There were several minor problems with the 'new' one that I spent numerous hours fixing, but the main issue was the remote start wiring.
After hooking it up the way it was originally (I thought), it didn't work. A number of things were not right on the connections to the control board, but I was able to figure that out from the manual. The next issue was that the color codes on the end going into the coach, were different. With a lot of help from my son and a multi meter, we finally got it right and everything works the way it is supposed to.
My question concerns the wire that provides power to the Hobbs meter and the switch light. On both generators, this wire had a ring terminal on it and was connected to the + terminal on the coil. The wiring diagram shows it connected to pin #6 on the control board. Is there a preference on this connection? It seems to work properly either way, even with the prime circuit.
Thanks,
