Chassis Battery connect to Intellitec BCC
My 1999 Rexhall Rexair is on a Ford F53 chassis with a gasser V10. Today it has challenged me with a 12 VDC problem.
Chassis battery is charged (12.5V). Unplugged from shore tie. I measure 12.5 V at the battery.
At the V10 starter motor 12V terminal, I also see the same 12.6V.
But then, inside my Intellitec Battery Control Center I can only see 3.1V at the battery input terminal, which I believe should be the same as the positive terminal of the battery.
With the chassis battery disconnect engaged I have 3.1 volt on either side, with zero volts across. Disengaged, only 3.1V on the input side.
If I remove the negative cable from the chassis battery, the 3.1V reading drops to zero. I am puzzled.
