Generator Battery not charging?

[Howard O. Truitt]

John,

It is in the rear battery compartment. It is about the size of a quarter studs on each side

Mine is mounted on a L shaped piece of metal attached to the frame just inside the door. Your problem sounds just like mine and replacing the stud solved the problem. Keep in mind I have a 86 PT40 and knowing BB yours could be in a different location. But I would think the diode would be the same, about the size of a quarter with studs on each side.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Generator Battery not charging?

I have had this gremlin for some time now. I have posted before and
received much information and help on the Solenoids under the Air step
all three ok wires ok, Solenoid in generator compartment ok but I
can't find the diode that is suppose to be somewhere up front left
that allows current one way I think. Where is it on a 1985 pt40? What
does it look like? There is a panel of sorts in the area that has the
battery, there are a bunch of wires coming off of terminals and there
is a Bosch 1x1x1 black square that has a couple of wires connected
just below this board about a inch is this the Diode? When I use the
aux bat switch it does click and will start the main engine when
depressed and will increase the starting of the generator when that
bat is low. I need to find the diode and check it out and then further
check the solenoids. The generator bat will just not charge off of the
battery chargers.
I appreciate any help as always thanks.
