My exciter wire 12v ignition for the #2 generator source doesn't have 12 volts source. I had an ignition problem where my 24V ignition was wired with a push button with a straight 24V source off the 24V block and was wired directly into a purple wire of my wire harness coming out of my fuse box in the engine compartment. So, that I had to turn the key to the on position and then press the button to start the vehicle. "It did have a fuseable link" in the 24 V source going to the push button. I disconnected that 24 volt source, fixed the fuseable link that is in conjunction with the ignitions 5 prong relay and the starter, at the 24 volt block that had burned through. Then I did the doghead relay and put in a new solenoid in the ignition system, but when I was doing this Dog Head relay, I realized that the 24 volt source that was suppose to be coming to thge solenoid was not there!!! Going back to the excited wire problem , I see there's 24V source coming to a relay there that is in line with the exciter wire trouble light down in the same area as the 5 prong relay is at. So, I am wondering if the lack of 24 volts to the 5 prong relay is conected to the problem I am having with the exciter wires relay down in the same area? Is this lack of 24V source coming to my doghead relay somehow connected to the lack of 24V to my trouble light and why it's not exciting my alternator to charge. Also, if I were to do the "rosocommon" conversion to a single alternator 12 volt system, would this fix the exciter wire's lack of 24 volt to the trouble light and let my gen # 2 start charging, again? "Warthog" please give me some advice on this... Thanks, huggy
