Phantom Current Drain
Hi everyone,
I have a 2001 GS Ultra model W6253T with a phantom current drain problem. I believe it's in the battery isolation system which consists of a big toggle switch, a large circuit breaker, a smaller circuit breaker and a 3-pin solenoid/relay underneath the plate that the other 3 components are mounted on.
I believe a 3 pin relay requires continuous power to stay closed for charging. I could figure this out if I had a schematic for the system but I'm piecing it together using a VOM.
Of course almost all the wires and cables are red since it's all circuitry on the +12V side. That doesn't help but I have identified all the cables except one.
The current I see using my Victron SmartShunt is 0.81A from the coach battery with all other DC Device turned off or disconnected. That's a lot !
Does anyone out there have a schematic for this old system ? I would really appreciate a copy... it's not in the manual that came with it.
Chuck
