Dogs chewed on this tube. Any ideas what is goes to?

Top notch mate. Thanks for the tip.

So both sides each have a yellow and green wire, but one side has a white wire and the other has a black wire. When I crimped the new spade connector on I did not use the correct crimp tool. I ordered the one I need and will see what happens once I have a better crimp.

Tightened stopped squealing. Thanks. The headlights not working rite on passenger side. Much more dim than driver side and no high beam. Any ideas?

Ok will do. There is a squeal coming from the engine when I accelerate. How can I be sure my belts have the correct tension?

Ok. Everything is working. Except now the coach lights don’t work. I haven’t check anything else in the coach but the lights were working before all this. Any idea what I should check?

Anyone know if these are still available to buy? I only need one. How the heck do you open it? 😆 I did it once, but forgot somehow.

One of the head light spade connectors needs to be replaced from corrosion. Any idea where I can find the same one or should I just buy an aftermarket?

Looks pretty good.

When checking the wiring found this at the wiper fluid reservoir. Would this have an impact on the circuit?

Pretty sure that was the problem. Charge light on dash turned off. Charge circuit fuse shows power. Battery charges. When the lights and cab heater are on it does not charge as well. Should I clean the splice or consider making a new one?

I wouldn’t quite say insane yet, just one step closer! 🤪🤬

Found it! For some reason I decided to move the battery cable and alternator wire to the same post on the isolator. When I did that it started to charge the battery a little more than before. Then I tracked down the splice. After I fully removed the tape from the splice it starting charging 14 volts at the battery. What’s next?

Also tail light fuse did not light up on fuse panel inside.

I wanted to double check fuses with a test light 💡. At the engine box I’m getting nothing at the two 10 amp HEAD(LH),HEAD(RH). Nothing at 7.5 amp CHARGE. 10 amp HAZ-HORN tested good. Check under fuses box and wires appeared ok. Did not check under tape. What should I do next?

Returned alternator. Purchased another from different store. Connected - neg. lead to engine block and + pos. lead to alternator terminal. Tested less than a volt. Wires do not appear damaged. Did not make a jumper wire from battery to alternator.

I attempted to do voltage test on the new alternator with neg. lead on neg. post and pos. lead on alternator post. Should I see the same voltage as the battery 🔋 or 13 to 14 volts ⚡️ coming out of the alternator? Or did I perform the wrong test? The output was very low.

Installed new alternator and connected isolator. Still not charging. Now the dash battery light comes on, did not do that before.

How do you reduce the size of the pics?

https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArCFZ6MnxmgejWZx_g41vWkGHO7V?e=BbhYvc I don't know what's going on with this website, it let me post my pics the other day and now it won't. Please visit the link to view pics. I bought a new isolator just to be sure. Connected wire from battery to post 1. Voltage tested good. Did not connect alternator to post. Did not connect cabin battery to post. Still need to test which wire is alternator and which is from cabin. Did not take note last time. If you notice the new isolator is slightly bigger than the old one and will not line up with the old screw holes. Will this cause any issues since parts of the isolator are not touching the body?

Well I replaced the belt and it is still not charging the battery. I had the alternator tested and it checked out with the parts store. Is there anyway it could be bad or intermittent even if it passed a bench test? Should I buy a new one just to see?

Brother in law is a roofer and used this to seal it.

Pictures of the old fan/alternator belt. Replaced today. Will test and give update tomorrow.

Removed the alternator and had it tested. It passed. When reinstalled noticed the belt was chewed up in a spot. Will remove fan and main belt to replace alternator belt. Hopefully that will resolve the issue.
