I?m having charging problems on a 2006 Fleetwood Providence. The coach batteries stay charged and work fine. The chassis battery works on the alternator but not from the Freedom 458 inverter/charger when plugged in.
When using the MOM dash start switch it pulls in the Trombetta solenoid but the contacts inside must be junk as the chassis battery voltage stays the same unless I manually jump the top terminals.
It?s a DP using Intellitec model 886-100 BCC. Except when pushing the MOM I am not getting a hot signal to the solenoid to pull it in even with the batteries at the correct voltage (>10.5v) and I cannot find the BIRD unit. It is not in the compartment with the BCC like I thought and I?m looking for something like the attached pic. I?m assuming that is the unit being used on this rig. The print I have shows it as a separate bi-directional isolator relay delay controller. I?ve also looked under the front dash and out front above the genset but didn?t see anything.
So besides the solenoid being bad I was wondering if anyone knew where they could be hiding the BIRD. I called Fleetwood to begin with and they thought the rig had an Rv Products system so I hesitate to call them back with this question.
Thanks
