Re: chassis battery system problem
I did not disconnect any positive cables. There is one negative cable from the other battery. The two cables both go through the cowling in back. I guess its possible the batteries are dead. I'll try to test the battery if I can do it with a multimeter? I don't know if I can find a fuse for the shutoff switch?241Views0likes0Commentschassis battery system problem
I wanted to top off my four house batteries and two chassis batteries before I sell my 2019 Winnebago Forz 34T diesel. Disconnecting, cleaning, filling and reinstalling all the wires for the four house batteries went back together smoothly and all systems work properly. The two chassis batteries were easier to work on. But after removing two negative cables and the battery hold down bar I realized these were sealed batteries. I cleaned what I could and reconnected the two cables to the same negative pole. But when I plugged the shore cable back in and tried to turn on the chassis shutoff switch, it would not stay on. There is now no power to the ignition. I disconnected, cleaned and reconnected the two negative cables without getting power back. I'm guessing I must have shorted something. But where do I begin? Another issue is that when I downloaded the wiring diagram from Winnebago, it only shows one cable to the negative terminal. I have two -893Views0likes3Commentsgenerator auto start for charging?
We purchased a 2019 Winn. Forza 34T in FL this past Jan. and used it with shore power until we got home to ME in Apr. I never learned about turning off the batteries until I had it serviced this summer where dealer told me about those switches while replacing four batteries. We're now getting ready for a 3 night trip to a friends home and would like to use inverter (2000 Watt) and generator (6000) for some AC equipment like hot water heater, residential fridge, and possibly one of the AC's. I just finished trying to read everything I think I need from the manuals about how to set up the generator so it will start automatically when the four batteries start to get too low. But I can't find that subject. I'm also thinking about connecting a 120 ac extension cord at night for lights and TV. I'd welcome any friendly suggestions, thanks.2.3KViews0likes8Comments
