Re: SOLAR PANEL EDUCATION PLEASE
Bob, there is not enough amperage from the solar panels to boost anything, solar only charges the batteries and at a very slow rate where the starter needs 100amps "surge" to do the starting. If you let your solar charge the house batteries for the day to get them to "100% charged&quo...

Re: Preignition dash light not coming on
You need to take a real good look inside your battery compartment, original factory had a box with exposed fuses and relay behind the batteries and power came from 1 wire off the engine batteries ( so trace from there). However lots of people drove the battery tray in too hard and smashed the box. M...

Re: Cat 3126B Flash Code 55
As you were driving had you used the cruise system or tried to use while it was flashing. did cruise work?. I had noticed that some other of my switches have gotten "less functional" shall I say. Dust in the contacts, carbon build up. Call it as you will. With the ignition OFF I rapidly sw...

Re: Mystery Oil pressure switch '98 Serengeti 3706
There you go, my 1996 "1WM" 3126 Cat (with the 40 pin ECM) doesn't have that switch as I am sure that I have only "T" at the end as yours must be a 3126B series with a different serial number prefix. Good find, best of luck

Re: Mystery Oil pressure switch '98 Serengeti 3706
I have traced my hourmeter wire back to the blue isolator in between the alternator and batteries and have a fused (5amp) connector on the center post. Note that hourmeters typically hook to either a pressure switch or ignition source and isolator is energized when alternator is running/ engine on!

Re: Mystery Oil pressure switch '98 Serengeti 3706
Scroll down to the bottom of the datcon page I have posted and click "go back" and all the gauges will pop up with part numbers and visuals less the Magnum word

Re: Mystery Oil pressure switch '98 Serengeti 3706
Sorry mine say Magnum as well and they are Datcon brand gauges and senders/sensors. I got my replacement oil senders from NWRV Supply, about $15 but if you look elsewhere on line look up Datcon as the gauge and sender must match by name and gauge pressure. Look here for the part numbers https://c-a-...

Re: Mystery Oil pressure switch '98 Serengeti 3706
If it has a single wire on it,someone replaces the sensor for either the dash or service bay oil pressure gauge. Each has their own sensor/ sender. I have replaces both mine with the appropriate sender. There are matching ones to the dash. ie" 0-100psi for the Datcon marked with Safari gauge, 0...
