  • Alternator Dash Light “ON”

    Posted by atanas on November 21, 2018 at 10:56 am

    I am working on a 2009 Prevost X3-45 Bus, with Detroit D60 Dual Alternator system from Bosch. So far we have replaced both Alternators, the harness which goes from the alternators to main harness. still getting the dash light ON. I did find Connector 17 in the Junction box was missing the 2 270 OHM resistors called exciter alternator Resistor. I installed new C17, the light went away for about 30 min and came back ON. now I am stuck. any help would be much appreciated.

    Happy Holidays

    Did the resistor burn out and open the circuit? I’d measure the resistance across it with a DVOM.

    Have you checked the ignition switch ?

    They have a history of causing strange issues.

    Terry. Test your small alternator. That’s the one that charges your chassis batteries.
