Re: 1999 Fleetwood Discovery 38 ft. battery relays
Here's a quote: Thus, with later revision boards and with ignition off, the auxiliary start/charging relay will drop out sooner (12.6VDC) to retain a greater amount of charge in the chassis battery. It is normal for the charging relay to remain pulled in after the engine is turned off. Coil current is approximately 1/2A for both models. The diesel model has a heavier, intermittent duty coil. To enable the coil to be continuously energized, full voltage is applied for 1/2 second and then the coil is pulsed at approximately 50% duty cycle. Thus, a voltmeter will read about 6VDC when the diesel relay is operating normally in closed position. Gasoline and diesel models of Rev B and alter sense voltage from both the ignition terminal and coach battery disconnect terminal. This allows the chassis battery to be charged from the converter when on shore power. Necessary conditions are : coach battery disconnect engaged, shore power on, converter operating, and coach battery charged above 13.2VDC. When these conditions are met the auxiliary charging relay will pull in and both batteries will be charged in parallel.790Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1999 Fleetwood Discovery 38 ft. battery relays
That may be normal. The Fleetwood "Discovery" model is a diesel. I read once that the BCC on diesels give that relay a 'shot' of 12 volts to pick up the relay, then 6 volts to keep it picked up. Here's a link that has a link to the BCC pdf. (post #5 of this: http://www.irv2.com/forums/f107/bcc-and-adding-another-solenoid-question-323934.html .793Views0likes0CommentsRe: iOS vs Android
Wife and I just bought Android Samsung Galaxy J3's for $30 each! (on sale thru our provider) All we need to do is talk and text, sending and receiving pictures, and gps for finding restaurants on the road, etc. So far, we are very delighted with our choice. Our monthly bill will be actually less than before it was with our old-old plan and flip phones.633Views0likes0CommentsRe: Battery

I think a visit to the wind farm is a must do. Their tour even takes you into a working turbine. The wind farm is at the top of hill halfway between Ellensburg and Vantage on the "old road". It's just fine for big rigs. By the way, the wind farm opens for the summer April 1. https://pse.com/aboutpse/Facilities/Pages/Wild-Horse.aspx https://pse.com/inyourcommunity/ToursandRecreation/WildHorse/Pages/default.aspx360Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5500 Onan quits after 1-2 hrs use, then starts back up
Here's a cheat sheet I have for common faults: Onan common fault Codes Cheat Sheet • Two blinks indicates a low oil pressure fault. • Three blinks indicates a service fault. Press Stop once to cause the two-digit, second level fault code to blink. (Pressing Stop again will stop the blinking.) The two-digit code consists of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 blinks, a brief pause, and then 1 to 9 blinks. The first set of blinks represents the tens digit and the second set of blinks the units digit of the fault code number. For example, Fault Code No. 36 appears as: blink-blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink-blink-blink-blink— long pause—repeat • Four blinks indicates that cranking exceeded 30 seconds without the engine starting. Restoring Fault Code Blinking – The fault code stops blinking after five minutes (15 minutes, Series HGJAA). Press Stop three times within five seconds to restore blinking. Note that the last fault logged will blink, even after the condition that caused the shutdown has been corrected. TABLE 5. TROUBLESHOOTING LOW OIL PRESSURE FAULT—CODE NO. 2 (First-level fault code—Low oil pressure cutoff switch did not open) SERVICE CHECK FAULT—CODE NO. 3 (First-level fault code—Indicates fault with second-level fault code) Corrective Action: Check the second-level fault code by pressing STOP once. The second-level fault code will have two-digits. The faults are listed in numerical order in this table. OVERCRANK FAULT—CODE NO. 4 (First-level fault code—Cranking exceeded 30 seconds without engine starting) LOW OIL PRESSURE CUTOFF SWITCH FAULT—CODE NO. 23 (Controller sensed switch still open during start—not a running fault) ENGINE STOPPED FAULT—CODE NO. 36 (Engine stopped without command by controller) OVERPRIME FAULT—CODE NO. 57 (Prime mode exceeded 3 minutes)637Views0likes0Comments
