    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    I was mistaken about the regulator 12 and 24 volt connections in the past. I had thought there was a 12 and 24 volt regulation connection. This is not the case. The regulator has 2 posts AC and 24 volt regulation. The 24 volt connection is just that. The AC is actually an AC voltage output off...

    Post a pic so I know exactly which one I will see if I have one. The breaker panel on the right dash. Under are wires. You can pick 2 to tap off off that are switched with the dash switch.

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    I have my truck hooked up with the regulator hot with no issue. You can tap off switched power under the panel if you wanted but it's more work. What air chamber? Maybe your engine fan is stuck on. Low voltage can cause that. Is the heater blower working? Maybe the coolant feed lines are getting...

    Is it physically damaged? Cage it the bolts should be on brackets. Unless you are good with spring brakes I suggest paying a heavy truck shop to fix it. Spring brakes can be very dangerous.

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    The knobs get bent and stuck. If it makes heat you know coolant is being circulated. If the coolant level in the reservoir behind the cab is ok and the truck dosnt overheat then I think you are good. You may be able to take the heater apart and free the controls up. I don't have any message...

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    The battery side has 2 power cables going to the batteries. One for 12 and one 24 volt. The truck side has 12 and 24 volt leads making their way into the truck. Does your heater not have power or no circulating coolant? Very important to go over the power panel and make sure it's properly...

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    You have to lift the breaker panel. Its not hard to do its 8 or so phillips screws the frame comes up with it. The kick has to come off so you can run the wire thru. On the left side of the breaker panel are 3 posts 12v 24v and ground. Other side of those are bolts with power wires to them. The...

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    It's a dual voltage alternator with 12 volt and 24 volt outputs. There is a 12 volt and 24 volt regulator input. Probably easier for you to get 12 and 24 (individually fuse each wire at the box connection with waterproof fuse holder 20a is good) at the polarity protective box under the spare...
