Batteries not charging...

[rogerwwebb]

I ran into a similar problem with my 91 and discovered the problem to be one
dead (fried) battery in the bank of three engine batteries. Checking the
voltage with the batteries tied together gave a false impression of adequate
charge. So, you might want to check each battery individually when you're
cleaning the connections/posts. Roger WebbCedar Rapids, IA91 WL
