After putting up with this for 24 years I decided it's time to sort it out.
Up until now I have had a kill switch that cut of the earth lead from the battery to the body/engine.
Worked really well every time I remembered to turn it off.
I had a sparkie turn up yesterday and he could not find the issue so I grabbed a 24v 100a VICTRON VSR
and a 100a normal relay. Re-wired the earth so that is direct now.
Whilst setting up the new arrangement I noticed I would get shocks when my forearm touched the body.
I separated all of the factory wires onto a distribution block and then with an ammeter tested which one had the draw.
The culprit is the white charge wire. So just a wild guess maybe the relay 34 in the diagram attached has the problem
It's the only one I can see that has a diode. Maybe that has failed!
The FSM I have is for the Aussie late 60 series and not the Japanese HJ61 that I have. Surely they are the same???
Can anyone shed some light on what relay 34 does please. Any other advice appreciated. thanks
