Default Re: Attaching a Trick-L-Start to a 08 Tourmaster T-40B

Hi...

Yes they do. Or at least seems to. For when I get somewhere, they usually are fully charged.

Check to see if you are getting 13+ volts at a 12v outlet when you are driving. (Like one of the 2 outside ones of the 3 on the low part of the dash.) Not the cigarette lighter, but one of the ones with the rubber caps. If you do not have one, get a simple digital plug in 12v meter to see the voltage. (Plugs right into the 12v port.) I have one plugged in all the time as it is good to see how your 12v system is doing. But in any case, when you drive, see if that is over 13V.

If not, then it could be an issue with the can relay in that same compartment. (I am NOT SURE if that also handles the 6v charging, but it does handle the 12v charging so it could when then coach is running.) Note, it will take like 15 seconds or so to kick in once you start the engine. If not get a voltage boost, let me know and I can advise on the part.

Well heck, the part is the trash can looking relay on the left side bottom of the compartment. It has 2 main line sides to it and one small trigger line on the front. If you are not getting 13v+ volts when driving, start their.
