Re: No Power to Penthouse
Update
The shop where bought the 4D put a handheld tester on it and declared it OK, for a two year old battery.
There seem to be special specs for an AGM tester, so back home, put a coonass load test on it with my multi-tester: i.e. separator disconnected, unplugged shore power, engine not running, and ran the microwave twice for a minute. Voltage stayed above 11.5 and recovered soon to 12.7.
New SP 1315-200 arrived today. Installed, it appears be opening and closing properly both ways.
The new one shows the same ohms: ~7.5 across the bottom rear terminals and ~3.2 across the top lugs. The solenoid action noise however, is more solid and, after about an hour in use, it seems to run about same temp as the old one- too hot to touch for more than a second.
Old one will eventually be torn down and cleaned up for a spare, but what if it's the logic circuit at fault, and not dirty contacts ?
