    MEP 803A Low AC Voltage and Alternator not charging.

    F1 fuse is good and had good voltage at the exciter terminal. At the alternator shop now the diodes are bad, do you have a source for them?

    MEP 803A Low AC Voltage and Alternator not charging.

    Thanks for the explanation it helps me understand for next time. Fuse mod checked and is good. I have the fuse and cap mods from your store installed on all of our units that did not have them when we purchased them. I have looked at your replacement VR on eBay this is a direct replacement...

    MEP 803A Low AC Voltage and Alternator not charging.

    I charged the batteries this morning with another unit, when I disconnected after charging it was at 24.9v. I have only run unit for short periods of time for testing only. The voltage drops slowly and continuously while the unit is running. It has a 20w 24v panel on it.

    Voltage at the alternator with unit running is 24v - Note, we have a solar 24v chargers on all units and until yesterday have had no issue with any units holding a charge. AC Volt at the outlet with unit running in Prime/Run was 94.2v With adjuster full left - 81.5v at full right - 96.3v...

    MEP 803A Low AC Voltage and Alternator not charging.

    So I replaced the faulty oil pressure gauge on the front panel, ( see previous post) the sending unit and installed a manual gauge after the last post. The day after installing the new gauge I have dead batteries, so I jumped the unit with another and it started right up and now have no...

    MEP803A no oil pressure after oil change.

    While I am here anybody got any tricks to getting the factory spin-on fuel water separator filter off. Those things I swear are torqued to 150 foot lbs and glued on. The replacements go on and off without an issue but a lot of unsavory language and time has been spent on that one filter.

    MEP803A no oil pressure after oil change.

    Update, so I tested the gauge per the TM and it failed. New gauge ordered, and we are adding the pressure gauge above the sender as well ( thanks for those part numbers! ).
