Ufosurfer Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hello, I just recently purchased a 1992 warrior. It has been sitting for five years. Well maintained by previous owner. The coach battery was dead. It charged barely after driving for two hours. I replaced coach battery yesterday. I connected positive terminal first but ended up grounding to neg with my ratchet in tight battery box. I now have lights in the coach but a clicking sound from the fuse panel. (Every minute or two?)All fuses are good. Any ideas? Did I fry the battery or some sort of solenoid? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Check your battery polarity, there is weird wiring on some coach batteries. The click is probably an auto reset circuit breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufosurfer Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thanks! Swap the wires? What I'm assuming is the positive coach terminal is the larger gauge wire? I'm using smaller gauge for neg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ufosurfer Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Duh:) you were exactly right. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Your rig is 25 years old, with who knows how many owners. Some PO were good some not so good. You have to act like they were all bad and check everything 2 x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob C Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I put labels on the positive and negative battery wires to make sure I don't put the wires on backwards in the future. You never know when you may have a senior moment and hook it up backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
