One thing I did forget to mention. Issue starts and I shut ALL inside breakers off. While leaving the transfer switch on “Generator” the dropout and clicking continue. This is with absolutely no load at all. Once I switch the transfer switch to “Shore” all is normal.
The relay in the picture chatters bad in direct combination as the loud clicking inside while the voltage drop is happening. So is my thinking wrong if I’m asking myself is the relay causing the issue inside or is it possible that something (possibly the transfer switch) is causing the issue in the relay?
I told you I know just enough to drive you guys and me nuts:)

Ok it just started with the issue. Gen ran about 30 mins till it started. Motor on powertec seems to be running fine with a coolant temp of 170.
Clicking noise started both inside and outside the coach. Inside is under the sink. I have not taken apart yet. Outside is in the box and from the relay shown. The relay clicks back and forth rapidly for about 10 seconds every minute or so. The voltage on both legs is VERY sporadic as the clicking is happening.
Thoughts?

I always appreciated his sense of humor….through some digging …here was his last post on this forum ….it says it all.
Hey Tom, how can Jon take advantage of the new Bluetooth battery technology with his “FLIP PHONE”.

As details emerge, and more information is provided, to me this is not a forum question or discussion.
Given the information provided and the photos showing wiring not typical of what is usually found on a conversion at the equalizer and no clue if the wiring or battery cables are even correct this is a problem best solved by someone at the coach with a tester and access to a whole lot more information.
I hate seeing what might be owner made changes because of lack of documentation, skill levels, and reasons for the modifications.
Chassis batteries should be able to sit for months and months without a charge and still retain the ability to spin and start the engine.

“Not easily found anymore, you have to go to Member Benefits than Member Discounts to find the map.”
Does this make any sense? Is this one of the reasons participation on this forum seems to have dropped off a cliff?

I learned to fly in the mid-eighties, and I had both an E-6B and an electronic E-6B. I hated using the “calculator” because I was proud that I knew how to use the “wheel.” I’d probably struggle to use either of them now, but they’re still sitting in a box in my garage, along with my Jepp textbook. I think I even have the King Schools VHS tapes somewhere.

Bernie,
Thanks for your thoughts. I haven’t found any correlation to activity and seeing the error. The last time it came on, I simply cycled the power (without starting the coach) and it came on. It has not cleared (error still in the DID) since with a dozen or so start cycles.
I highly suspect it has something to do with EGR. That’s a longer conversation. I have an Ugly Fix that I took off about a year ago…..maybe I’ll throw that back on and see what happens.
My Bluefire device doesn’t see any codes. I have access to another code reader. I’ll try that as well. The performance of the coach is still very good, just have that annoying message in the DID (without Red CEL or Yellow CEL).
I would love to see a listing of what conditions cause a error message. Again, no Yellow CEL or Red CEL. Just the error in the Drivers Information Display.

Here in California I see Shell has one option for Diesel, a Renewable Energy Diesel, has anyone tried this? It smells different than normal Diesel, very clean, kinda smell. Any input would be appreciated.

Art,
Had a friend with the exact problem and turned out to be the cam sensor. Jon will probably jump in here as well.

I had read all of the mae west discussions and was only left a little confused. I’m thinking it is only regarding the straight axle busses, but I may be wrong. Anyway, Prevost sold me the 630151 for the front independent suspension. They did mention that these also lift the heavy converted shells better than the original bags did. I will soon know if theres a difference.
