    MEP 805B won’t stay running except In battle mode

    Swapped around relays. Used dioxide. Switch Is good. I did try jumping across the starter to take the switch out of equation. Same thing happens. As soon as the starter engages the display goes blank and show to be rebooting. It will run 5-7 seconds and die. The generator makes voltage...

    Found another place that wanted 350.00 for the switch. This was the info that I had. I will work with the alternate part numbers and see what I can find. Thank you for the info.

    MEP 805B won’t stay running except In battle mode

    The reasoning for this is in the steel Soldiers threads the solderless connectors were reported to possibly have oxidation/ corrosion. All those white wires went to a central stud. If you cut off the old solderless connector and added a new one they would not be long enough to reach that...

    A) Who put this in. I did B) when was this put in? Before or after starter change? After C) what purpose does it have? Thought we might have poor grounding. Put a ground bar in and cut the solderless connectors . Then daisy chained the grounds from bus bar to bus bar to the ground at the...

    MEP 805B won’t stay running except In battle mode

    Problems occurred way before replaced the batteries and starter. Unsure when it excites exactly. The answer would be “A” I assume then. From reading the replies I’m starting to think maybe some the issues may be corrosion/oxidation in my start/run switch. I will investigate it further at the...

    It is unknown about the water/rain entering the unit. When I got it all the covers were in place. I did vacuum some of the dust out. When I went back to my office to take the pictures it ran just like it should. I do notice when I go to the start position on the switch from run/prime the the...

    Yes the cim turns off when it dies. Unsure of when it reboots. I normally turn off the mater switch within 30 seconds. Yes I turn on the panel lights before starting the genset. As a matter of fact the sun went out at some point when i first started messing with the I it. One day I turned on...

    MEP 805B won’t stay running except In battle mode

    I’ve gone thought through the TM’s. Replaced the MPU. voltage is +/- 2.7 vac. Wired around the connector at the actuator. ( this action fixed the voltage to the actuator). I’ve cleaned all grounds and all connectors/ bus. the lights on the backplane are correct according to The DCS...
