Over charging alternator
Ron , Wander if it had something to do with the solenoid that
disconnect and reconnect the alts to both banks. maybe there is a way
to hard wire it up to the start bat bank, and not run it to the dis
connect relay???(or repair the relay??). When My 94 starts up the
alts charge both banks and a light on the dash comes on. I am only
guessing that the alt outputs run to a relay/Solenoid before the
battery. I dont know if it is necessary to protect the alts from A/C
Chargers (heart). I will look for a BB charging sym if it will help.
