I put a new 30 amp fuse in. Still no power to the control panel, I need to start tracing the power and find what tripped. Can't wait till I get this generator sorted properly and my wife might get to park in the garage again! Thanks. Sent from my SM-G715U using Tapatalk

I pulled the 7.5 fuse/reset and that did not work. The charging fuse above was blown, 250V Buss AGC 1 1/2 was in it. Would this fuse be correct? The new alternator was wired the same as the old one. Thank you all. Sent from my SM-G715U using Tapatalk

Life occurred and parts had to be ordered but here is where I stand and any / all help is greatly appreciated. Update: I installed the new Fuse and the missing cap. I started the Generator and it gave me an Under Current light. I tested the Alternator and it was only putting out approx 5 Volts...

Ray, reading over this again you are correct that the Alternator fuse is missing. The cap or what not is missing, any idea on how to source a replacement and any ideas on which fuse should go back in? Ok, using the manuals I found the parts diagram and it appears I need the following: 9 PAOZZ...

Ray, it is out of the panel but still there laying down. The nut and washer are still on it but won't slide off the end so I'm thinking the end unscrews and I need to get this remounted to the panel. This was a machine I got from an auction of a private individual who was auctioning off his...

Ok, I checked the A1 and Terminal 1 & 3 wires. I was wondering what A1 was but finally saw the A1 in the bottom left on the blue box to the right of the Fuse Mod. For those newbies like me when you run this test just take a flat head and loosen the screw, do not remove the screw as I promise you...

Thank you Kloppk I just ordered the correct fuses per your instruction. I am off shortly but hope to be able to test the Ohms later tomorrow for A1 Terminals 1 &3. Will report back.

Would it be the attachment you posted in post 5 of this Thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-804a-overvoltage-where-do-i-start.200105/#post-2331593 This says it applies to: "Repair for MEP-802/812/803/813 Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG) Voltage Regulator (A1) and Quad Winding...

Here are some photos. Fuse it came with has the wire which I'm guessing was a McGuyver/Duck Tape solution. If the fuses i linked to are correct I will order those.

Would this be the correct fuse a KLK-3 as seen here: https://smile.amazon.com/Littelfuse-KLK003-Fuse-KLK-3-Pack/dp/B015GWQ8A2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=klk-3+fuse&qid=1634679052&s=hi&sr=1-1 Are you thinking the incorrect fuse may be the cause of the smoke?

Yes I do with a 30 amp fuse in it with a zip tie around to aid for removal.

Guyfang, yes I have downloaded all the manuals you posted. The other post can be found here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-804a-new-owner-documentation-thread.205668/ Thank your Guyfang for reading my posts and sharing some wisdom.

Hey everyone, see my other post for background information on my MEP-804A. Earlier this morning after I got it running last night I tested it and plugged in a shop light and it all worked and sounded great. Gauges were all good and then the engine went up/down and the light went dark and white...
