Thanks to Ken B. for developing and Gene for posting the flow chart on the 49'er blog.
The test is to see how many different opinions can be generated from one set of data.
Using Ken's flow chart:
Engine running headlights on
Alt terminal on isolator=14.33v
Eng batt terminal = 14.31v
House batt terminal = 13.55v
Engine off lights off:
Alt terminal = 13.13v
Eng batt = 13.12v
House batt = 12.89v
I'm going through this exercise because of the voltage reading on the Alt Terminal when the engine is not running!
Seems to me it should be zero with the engine off. I assume the isolator has gone south and is keeping the Alt and Engine batt connected.
Other possibilities or problems??
Thanks for input
