generator weirdness

[mrkane1952]

There is a new folder in the "Files" section named "PT Gen Charge
Schematic" which contains three PDF files. I scanned the charging
circuit schematic into three overlapping pieces, which you should be
able to print and splice together. Hopefully this will give you more
information to solve your puzzle.

The schematic in my "Blue Box" was the same as that in the big set I
ordered from BB.

Best I can tell from the schematic, there should be two small-gauge
control leads on the forward relay: one coming from the dash "Aux
Batt" switch and the other going to the rear relay. Any chance
something is hiding from your view or a connector fell off? Old
crimp-on connectors and dirty contacts are the cause of many problems.

I'm just over the border in TX, down I35 from you. We had lots of
rain and wind, but the deadly tornadoes were southwest of Ft. Worth.
Lows are around 30--a bit cool to work outside when not necessary.
I'm performing inside upgrades. ;-)


Good luck--
