The Basic Question is what happens when you turn your master switch on and off? I know this is going to bring out bizarre replies but hear me, please. My problem is random shut down of battery power, both 12vdc and 24vdc. If it shuts down momentarily while it is running it will stay running and transmission gets a little funky on shifting. Codes 1212 and 1213 come up which is low and high power. I am assuming that is a good indication of loss off battery and I am running off of alternator. This only happens when the truck is at operating temperature seemingly for a period of time. (Remember Random) The really annoying part of this is when it does it and you do shut it down it will not restart until cold which would indicate and electrical part hot and working when it cools. What I mean by it won't restart is that when you turn the Master Switch on everything lights up then you push the start button it engages the solenoid momentarily and all systems shut down and then will come back momentarily. OK I can hear the screams "It's your batteries or connections". Well they have been thoroughly been done and I won't argue you but they have even been reshaped and load tested to ensure positive connection.
Now I have the Military Troubleshooting but they don't show me a schematic or systems schematics so I don't really know what happens when you turn the battery master on. I have seen the Battery Shunts and then I saw an Electromagnetic Switch of good size in the area of the shunts and my lights went on that this is suspect but I don't know if this is the problem because I haven't heard mention of it in troubleshooting at all.
I really need the experienced ONES to enlighten me! Magic Wand probe type thing if you please and it will be greatly appreciated. I am willing to compensate for good and correct advice. Thank you, Lugnuts
