alternator/generator issue
Posted: Jun Tue 09, 2009 9:38 pm
Hi,
The new battery is not charging in my bus, totally drained it coming home from Hylite last week so I jumped it and ran it over to Auto Stop who said I needed some diagnosis time and a new alternator. Now I can believe I might need that alternator but I really want to be sure before I shell out more money to these guys. One thing I noticed is the second battery (RV marine battery on left side) has shorted out against the wheel well. I know I added a kit so the alternator would charge both batteries when driving a few years ago but could this be the problem not allowing the alternator to charge. Looking forward to seeing you all this week-end and might have to ride with Dubber instead of cruising in the bus.
