Great post, Bill! And excellent summary of the workings of the disconnect. Only thing that I would add would be to disconnect ALL battery ground leads (coach...
Thanks Bill for the clear explanation of the LVD and battery separator's functions. Without having checked it out, am I correct in that he Chinooks Aux Start...
Thanks Steve ... When I first spotted the blue box in the wall in 2004 I wondered about failures and more recently how the Solar controller was measureing 13.2...
I think that some of the Concourses were equipped with an inverter, but I don't know what year that might have started or whether it was a special option or...
Lutz, you are ok with the switch, yes, the high current is controlled by the Battery Separator, the AUX Remote Switch operates the low current control signal...
2002 Concourse I've been through the mill on electrical repairs: 1. replaced auto breakers on chassis under driver 2. cleaned breaker by generator so it would...
Hello from the frozen North! I am assured by the powers that be that it will not be this cold come September (Yet another winter storm coming this weekend)! I...
RRJANN-- I don't know if the '02 Concourse has an automatic transfer switch (ATS) or not. If so, this could be your culprit. I had to replace one on another...
This sure sounds like an LVD, Low Voltage Disconnect issue to me....... on the Concourse it's behind the drivers seat as I recall... If it senses something...
This might be obvious, but I'll add to the "Maybe it's this.." discusson. Did you confirm that the coach batteries themselves are getting fully charged? I...
Darned good point Chuck.... I guess one of the first things I'd say is to get a good independent read on each of the coach batteries and also on the truck...
Steve, I know that we acknowledged back when the idea first surfaced, but I wanted to make sure that we are still on the list. Randy Williams/Betsy Day 394...
If your batteries are OK and fully charged, check the voltage lead to the LVD. And don't forget to be checking the water levels in all your batteries (coach...

Thanks, Lutz, for that good advice! My last fillup here in Oregon was $2.959 at Costco, but that was back on Feb 19th! I have followed your advice for years...
If there is no temp compensation on the pumps, do they use a compensation chart when they calibrate or test the pumps? The tanks are usually at least 5' below...
Good points Steve. My guestimates is that temperature compensation charts are beyond the gas retailers or each states bureau's of measures and standards...
Has anyone ever tried to look at, remove, test the converter system? If so, how in the world did you get to it? Did you take out all shelves and walls under...
If you have the CONVERTER and not the INVERTER, then it should not have anything to do with problems when on battery only. Neither does the transfer switch....
PS - you could also try to remove both the main IN and OUT battery leads from the LVD and simply connect them together, bypassing the LVD. Then hook up your...
People used to have to wait in line for hours or days and pay good money for that kind of diagnosis :-) and we all get it for free... I think that all...
