    M1083 switches to Neutral when backing up.

    Was backing our 1083 up very steep slope, it switched itself to N three times, when it switched there was an air release under passenger dash area. Could not get it to replicate it later. Fluids and air pressure are good. Any input appreciated.

    M1083 alternator/charge controller voltage issues

    Got the batterys switched out etc, a;; good on that front. Started motor, 14.2v on 12v terminal, 36v+ on 24v, I shut it down real fast with no apparent damage. Would this alternator bolt onto the 3116? C.E. Niehoff & Co Generator 76761-N1603-2 28 VDC 450 Amp Voltage Regulator N3211

    M1083 alternator/charge controller voltage issues

    Ok Gents, I am seeing some light thanks to you. I did the tests on the alternator, with the VR unplugged we lost charge V on 12 and 24. with It plugged back in, charge was 14.2 and 28.4. As soon as the service drive(lights) were turned on, the 28.4 went up to 31.2, and this would change with...

    M1083 alternator/charge controller voltage issues

    thanks a ton Ronmar, that’s a lot of good info that can cave my head in. Will dive into this in the next few days. I will let you guys know what I find and I do appreciate the feedback.

    M1083 alternator/charge controller voltage issues

    When the engine is running I’m seeing 32v on the 24v post and 14.2v on the 12v on the relay panel, the 14.2v appears good, but the 32v is high. I took a pic of the readings on the regulator and alternator when running, excuse the wobbly text. basically 24.2v on the left post of regulator, 32v on...

    M1083 Voltage drop and intermittent start issues found

    I found a ProMariner 2-130-2 that is dual alternator dual output multi voltage, when it arrives ill check that the two alt inputs aren't somehow cross connected and that should do it. I like the idea of deleting it as GD mentions, but I think of anyone else touching it when I'm not there ;)

    M1083 Voltage drop and intermittent start issues found

    Been seeing a voltage drop between the batteries(fully charged and good batt connections) and the cab voltmeter, starter was also intermittent and eventually no start. Problem came down to a cooked/corroded starter motor solenoid, and the 12v/24v isolator/diode bank was blown out(looks like...

    M1083 panel voltage issue/no start

    Ok, I put the charger on for overnight. With the charger on the batts I measured the V on the batts and on the x3 studs on DB panel, and have a drop of 2V on the 12v and 24V studs compared to the battery V. With the charger on, the panel Voltmeter still reads sub 20V. I will recheck in the morning.

    M1083 panel voltage issue/no start

    The 12v and 24v batteries have good voltage when measured at the batteries. The panel voltmeter has been dropping steadily and now shows less than 20v. Engine will not crank, only clicks. Checked all fuses, swapped relays etc, all good. Reading 24v and 12v on main points in electrical...
