benjib07 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have an 1986 Toyota escaper. My problem is the coach will not run on DC power alone. It works fine when plugged into shore power or when the engine is on. The battery is putting out 12v. And theres continuity from the 32 v battery fuse. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Sounds like it might be the transfer relay inside your converter/charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craige Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 A couple of weeks ago I turned on the generator to show friends how great my Toy was and the power wouldn't go back on after I turned off the generator. Took off the cover to my converter and exercised the transfer relay with a pen and it has worked since then. It may just be stuck, or broken. Try manually moving it.

Maineah Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 There used to be a strange device call a point file very popular when cars had points however they still make them now it's a contact file a few runs through the relay contacts may just "fix" the relay.
