    PTO winch help

    The fan is reverse logic, the thermal sw or the dash sw applies power to energize the fan solenoid and provide air to release the fan clutch(cold engine or fording high water). When you hit 205F, the thermal sw opens the circuit, the solenoid de-energizes venting clutch air and causing it to...

    PTO winch help

    Well that doesn’t look like an A0 schematic. The K37 and the year indicate to me that you have an A0 with a wtec 3 transmission controller, so I don’t think you have a K42… The PTO sw has 2 switched contacts in it. One sends power to-from that relay And the PTO engage solenoid. The other...

    Manual Cab Pump?

    Here is a pic, it is a 5PSI check valve(circled in red) this forces fluid to the hand pump until it builds 5PSI to then allow the fluid to return to the air op pump reservoir. The 1 PSI check allows the hand pump to draw fluid from the AOP reservoir if it pulls into enough vacuum to open that...

    Battery Disconnect Light comes on...transmission goes into limp mode- only 5 gears

    Yep, you want in the upper 12s on battery voltage to proceed. They also need to deliver a respectable amount of current when loaded to the test voltage(crank amp test). The diodes in the LBCD should only drop the voltage 0.3-0.5V from the battery terminal to the load terminal on the 12 and...

    Battery Disconnect Light comes on...transmission goes into limp mode- only 5 gears

    Well if you are only getting 5.1 on the 24v load terminal with the 24v batt terminal connected, the 24v diodes are not passing correctly or you have a bad 24v connection at the LBCD. the batt power runs from batteries to the 24v batt terminal(alternator 24 is also connected here) thru the...
