Took motor home for a drive and the alternator failed again. Check contact connection on back side of fuse holder-all was good. Ran a second exciter
wire with a 10watt 10 ohm resister still nothing.
Took a break from the alternator problem for a few weeks. Had lunch with Larry C. and told him of the problem I was having. He called me later and
we went through the schematic of the alternator wiring and kept questioning why I have exciter voltage with key on but it drops out when the engine
starts. Next day I went down to the Motorhome and just started poking around and saw an itsy bitsy spring under the accelerator pedal (ignition
switch). Replaced ignition switch and alternator charging again. When, where, and why that spring came loose I will never know.
I want to thank everyone for their input and help with my alternator problem.
This is the second time I have posted this update but never saw it posted.
