MEP 1030A

[Robert P]

New to the forum and military generators, I have a new to me MEP 1030A that the DCS screen has no actively, nor does the fuel pump turn on, the breaker has the correct voltage when switched to the off position and it will crank with dead crank switch. I believe the DCS is faulty and opened it, it was pristine without any sign of visible fault or damage, checked the connections while it was open and everything seemed properly landed and secure. Batteries are new and correct duel 51r cables are tight and no damage found anywhere, before I buy a new DCS any help would be truly appreciated.

When you turn on the disconnect do the lights on the DCS buttons glow or do anything or does the screen background light up at all?

Check the fuse in the fuse/relay box to be sure the one for the DCS is there and good and that all the connectors to the fuse/relay box are connected.

You may want to carefully verify the DCS is being provided +24 volts to the P2 plug on the back of the DCS.
B+ pins should have +24 volts on them.
