I had searched the internet and the lots of different forums but I can't figure out what is going on.
I have a Suburban FS-42 Furnace in my 1998 Winnebago. the furnace works fine when on shore power.
When I'm on batteries the blower will come on but it won't light.
I have replaced the Sail Switch, High limit switch and the Main Board.
here is what I'm getting for voltages at the furnace.
On Shore, I get 13.6v no load, and 12.5v when the blower kicks on, Furnace lights no problems.
On Batteries, I get 12.6v no load, and 10.5v when the blower kicks on, Furnace won't light and blower continues to run.
I know the voltage drop has something to do with it, but I can't figure out why. the sail switch is fully triggered so it should be passing the signal to light but doesn't at the lower voltage.
I thought that maybe It had a bad ground and ran a new ground wire, but this didn't solve the problem.
Also note that the batteries are new and fully charged, I have 4ea. 6V batteries. Everything else in the coach work fine with the exception of the furnace lighting when on batteries.
any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
