In past posts, I assumed I had issues with an alternator after having to change out on alternator 3 times already, I have traced battery wires from the front of the coach (engine battery) to the house battery. I have ordered solenoid to replace the solenoid on passenger side engine compartment. I have ordered an isolator box from NAPA last Friday and it is over a week getting here, to which UPS claims the item possibly got lost or misplaced. (Imagine that!!)
I am at a loss with the large cable with red coating on it, coming from the left side of the solenoid located on the passenger firewall, next to the isolator box. The wire is strapped to the frame behind the grill and runs to the driver's side section and then goes into the body of the camper. (From here, I have no clue) I thought I had found the other end of this cable at the block behind the Converter/Breaker box across from bathroom.
I did remove the Converter box and Breaker Box today and found a "block" that a battery cable wire connects to. With the house battery connected, this wire has 11.5 -12 volts. I did unhook the wire which appears to be going back to the front of the camper, and while hooked to a battery, it is showing 12 volts. The wire on the block is "zero" I am unsure if the cable I am mentioning is in fact the booster cable...
I do have several decent pictures of the areas I am trying to explain. I must admit when I look at a schematic or any other electrical drawing, it comes across to me a trying to read Chinese, which I have no clue of. I am more of a type of person, if I can get my hands on it and be able to look at how it is to go, I can eventually figure it out.
I do apologize for my ignorance and to assure all, I jumped in this purchase of this RV to learn the aspects of how to keep it maintained and serviced when needed. If and When I get the bugs worked out, it will be going on the road!!! Please forgive me for my ignorance with the above mention, but I am convinced I will not let this eat my lunch or kick my butt.
I do have a few photos I have taken, but it seems when I try to upload them, I am advised they are too big to send. Another task I am sure I will eventually figure out.
