Service in Florida
Make sure you have a load on the system when checking the
alternators. Turn on your headlights. If you get nothing, then the alternators are not putting out or there is a circuit breaker or relay bad in the system. The alternators are controlled by 6 relays in the coach battery compartment. Look at the top of the opening on the left side. Benny at BB could send you a copy of the wiring or I have a copy if you need it. After loading the system and checking the switch, I suggest you have a good generator shop look at it. R.E.
