Guys,
If you're like me, you REALLY like figuring things out yourself and it feels like a kick to the junk when you get to the point of giving up. Well, when it comes to my 24V 2h, giving up translates to taking it somewhere to be diagnosed which then leads to being kicked square a second time by someone who originally acts like they can diagnose but after hours of 'work', multiple replaced parts, the issue may still exist.
Enough about that potential nightmare so I'll get right to the point. Anyone in the Mooresville/Charlotte area that wouldn't mind offering some time in helping me identify the root cause to my electrical issue on my 60?
I'd be happy to pay in brews but in all seriousness I would pay $ if you could assist.
This is my first and only diesel so I'm learning as I go. Here's basically the issue...
Been dealing with this for a few months. Had an electrical issue where I couldn't figure out if my batteries weren't charging due to bad wiring and grounds or an alternator issue. I sent the alternator off to be rebuilt and while that was being done I checked wiring, found some opportunities, and replaced as necessary. Once I got the alternator back, reinstalled, replaced batteries with new, and she fired right up and charged appropriately!
EXCEPT, I noticed the charge lamp flicker when ignition was turned on. For a split second. It had never done this in the past. For the past two weeks I've been trying to root cause but cannot figure it out. If I leave my cables hooked up, my batteries will be dead by the morning! It's drawing power somehow.
I've retraced my steps a few times but feel like I'm going in circles. Tonight I found that the Charge Light relay in the kick panel clicks when I hook up the positive battery cable to complete the circuit. Not sure if that's the root cause but I posted about that in the diesel section.
Again, hate to ask but Any help would be appreciated!
