Solenoid

[DonS]

Hi All.
The other day I was in the battery compartment & I felt one of the solenoids &
it was so hot you couldn't touch it. I never felt it being that hot before. Is
that normal? I shut the 12Volt system off in side & it cooled off.

Depending on your year those 100 amp solenoids supply the 12 volt power to the rig when the master is on. Unfortunately it is their job to get hot. The fact that it supplies 12 volts to the rig is an afterthought. Those big solenoids draw between 1 and 2 amps all by them selves. gary 85pt40 --- On Tue, 7/6/10, Donald Spithaler wrote: From: Donald Spithaler Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Solenoid To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010, 6:45 AM I've Already found that one out Ernie but the one in my battery compartment is hotter.

I also have a step one that stays hot, also.

Make sure it is not the generator tie relay. If that one is stuck on, it will trash your gen battery gary 85pt40 --- On Tue, 7/6/10, Ernie Ekberg wrote: From: Ernie Ekberg Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Solenoid To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010, 8:36 AM I also have a step one that stays hot, also.
