Batteries Overcharging Badly

[davidbrady]

Hey Corey,

Judging from the 1999 LXi document that Rich published earlier, enabling the engine start circuitry should turn the 'alt batt' dash led on. An easy way to test it, w/o breaking out any tools or disconnecting any wires, is to climb into your captains seat with the ignition key off. Make note of the Engine Volts gauge reading and the Coach Volts gauge reading. (For this test to work the coach would have to have been sitting for a spell with the 'aux batt' off). Note that the reading on each gauge is different. Now turn on the ignition switch. If you're 'aux batt' solenoid is turning on the two gauges should converge to the same voltage reading. (maybe someone can think of an even easier test).
