My '06 PK won't move. The vehicle is stock except for Batt Eqs, Woodward suspension and the GPEV batt desulfator. I have headlight, but no dash voltmeter...

Sure, but any parts store will also have the 12v version, & it will save you shipping. Can get them for you if you don't have a local source. -- Sean Rarey ...

Sounds like the control circuit for your contactor coil isn't all working. My 06 SD played up several times and I found one of the 72V relays under the dash -...

I have tested all of the fuses (under the hood) and they are good. I have tested the big fuseible link under the bed of the PK and it is good. I have tested...

You have complete 72v failure; main contactor? Trace the voltage throught he contactors and find out where it stops. -- Sean Rarey GPEV www.gpev.us...

There are four contactors under the bed of my PK. I have 72V on both of the contactors nearest the middle of the bed. The voltage is present on the terminal...

Yes, now you need to determine is the contactor coil getting power? i.e. is the contactor bad, or is it just not being powered? -- Sean Rarey GPEV www.gpev.us...

Sean, On the side of the contactor (the input to the operating windings) I measure 72V (that is where the white palstic clad jumper is). When I turn the...

does the contactor "click" when voltage is applied to it, then does it pass the traction voltage through? If not, it is a problem with the contactor. It may...
