In late March I had my coach in for annual service when the shop found the alternator was not charging properly. Long story short, the alternator was replaced. They failed to replace the coolant filter as requested, so today I did that. And looking up at the new alternator I found a loose electrical connector that goes to two wires at the bottom of the alternator. I have driven the coach several times for a total of over 2k miles since they replaced the alternator, and have had no problems, warning lights, etc. Can anyone tell me what the wires on this connector powers??
The service ticket says "Installed alternator, found unit not charging. Pulled connector for the 2 wires going to I and R post. Started unit and found unit is charging." It does NOT say the wires were reconnected.
One owner on another forum commented that he has heard that when a Leece Neville alternator is replaced with another brand, this connector may not be used. Bugs me to have a connector hanging unused, but perhaps I need to get over it in this case?
