Hello I'm cleaning/brushing some cables (see previous post "Engine does not start, transmission selector problem" . I removed the two heavy red cables at the positive bus buss (after disconnected negative cable on chassis batteries and negative motorhome cable on house batteries). Cleaned ...

Thank you John. I understand your frustration, I know you want to help! I'll try to clean all these lugs before and after that, I think that I'll give you a call (maybe tomorrow, I'll let you know before). Meanwhile, I took a measure at big red wire on bus buss (the one that goes to house batteries,...

Thank you Brett. I'm pretty sure this big black wire that comes out of my isolator, driver's side (in blue, picture named isolator) goes into a structure that seems to be a solenoid. From there it goes to the chassis battery. Second picture (named solenoid) shows that same black wire that enters the...

Hi to everyone, Back home! I had charged my batteries all night long, voltage reading before departure: 12.9. While driving, the voltmeter on dashboard showed something like 10.5V (picture "meters"). RPM meter does not work as you can see on the same picture. Upon arrival, voltage reading ...

Oh and just one more thing: is it possible that this wire that is connected to the negative terminal and that is coated with red plastic. I talked about it sooner in this thread (and also posted a picture). Would it be possible that it has to be connected to the positive terminal instead? I will try...

Thank you John. Question: about the picture of the alternator that I've posted before, is it a front view or a back view? Can you provide a link with a schematic of the kind of alternator I have so I can locate more easily the sense wire? About the testing I did on the isolator studs, I'm pretty sur...

Hi again, sorry for the delay, I had to go with the kids on the lake, after all, we're in vacation! :) So, back to business now. Voltage reading on the sense wire: 0. I think that my procedure for the test was ok (see https://pasteboard.co/JkgigE7.jpg , what I think is the sense wire is pointed by a...

Thank you Brett for your answer. Sorry for that but I have to ask you some very basic questions, don't forget that I'm a beginner... but I want to learn! About the sense wire, I cannot see it. The alternator seems very well hidden. Is there someone who knows enough my specific model (Mr Mel maybe?) ...

Progress report: I went to to the store to return their batteries they tried to sell me and get back mine after full charge. Voltage reading: 12.2. I started the engine. Two minutes later, the reading was 12.05, so it seems the alternator is the problem. There was also the possibility of a problem w...

And following question: does anyone know the type of alternator I must be looking for, should it be the problem. I will start searching today, just to be ready when the deed is done.
