Jacobs Electric Retarder Control Box...84FC - dthollis1961 - 03-29-2007 12:07 My bus had a 12 amp drain that was caused by the retarder being energized at all times. The post for #1 position is energized at all times, but the relays in the box are not until the ignition is on and the retarder lever is moved to position. For now, I've removed the wire from the box to the retarder for #1 position and everything seems to be OK. 2,3 and 4 are functional. I'm thinking there must be something in the back of the box making contact with the #1 post. Can these control boxes be taken apart? Any other ideas? David Hollis 84FC35 Springfield,IL |
