    KISS. Thats what I like about the 005A. BUT, there is always a but, it too is showing its age. I think its easier to fix, and I think if someone comes up with some after market reverse engineering, the 005A will live lots longer then I ever will.

    Or, buy an MEP-005A!

    @mciikurzroot @peapvp Hey you two. Can you two think of a reason this might happen? By that I mean have you seen this failure before?

    Sadly, the screws were always a problem on Air Con. Your opinion, and my opinion are the same. I would fix the wire and then see if it comes up. Then do the "controlled substitution" trick. You could jump the over/under relay. Just to see if that's the problem.

    OK, so what's it do or not do, now?

    The next step n troubleshooting is looking at the over and under pressure switches. In my experance, that was where the most problems came from. And as soon as it's a low pressure switch, everyone wants to change the "bad" switch. Well, let's not forget that the switch might be telling the...

    If you dont have the manuals, I just uploaded them. If you do, then they are still uploaded!! Need any other manuals for the van?

    Do you have the -14 and -24P for the air con? Did you read the below listed warning? And did you hook the air con up for 6 hours before trying to start. If input power has been disconnected for an unknown period of time, do not start in COOL MODE until power has been reconnected for a...

    Look at the schematic and see what relay controls the motor, then jump it with a jumper wire. What is the model number and NSN for the unit. If you have the TM number, even better. Then we can look see at the schematic.

    Well, at least give the AC's a look see. Check input voltage. You might have a problem there.

    After a second look at your picture, I have second thoughts. There are two incorrect phase lights. I can't remember a lot about the rig, but I assume one light is for input power, one is for output power. Can you get a phase rotational tester? They are cheap. Some multimeters also can perform...

    Just because the tags are on the wires, doesn't mean they are right. Normally when you get the incorrect phase light, just change any to phase wires, and then the light should go off. Or trace the phases in the gen set. It could be two wires are swapped on TB1. Simple as that. But first just...

    Roger that! By all means, read this thread from front to rear several times. But a new thread will get you more help. And no one has to wonder where it all started.

    Yes there is a procedure. I used to have it, got it from a CECOM LAR. But sadly tossed it away. I am closing my eyes, and thinking back. I have yet to find it in the TM, so assume its not there. Turn the speed trim until you have 65 hertz. Adjust gain until unstable. Re adjust until stable...

    Give it a try! And there is no fault displayed on the CIM? Does the A-6, Electric Actuator look like its been changed? If you get no reaction to adjusting the Pot Speed Trim, go to Work Package 0162, for test info on the electric actuator. Interesting enough, the TOC, (Table of Contents)...

    Do you think the engine is running at the right speed? What does the hertz meter read. I cant remember just how its adjusted, but if it isn't reading anything, an adjustment aint gonna help. I had the procedure about 7 years ago, when I last laid hands on such a beast. Can't remember what it...

    Sometimes that's the only thing equipment needs. TLC. When you get the overvoltage Fault, can you hit the fault indicator reset and clear it?
