Before investigating any specific electrical problem,
always check:
• Connection between panel harness and panel
loom. It must be clean, dry and secured with a
cable tie.
• Check the start battery is connected to the correct
terminal on the starter motor.
• Check the domestic battery is switched on and
connected to the correct terminals for the 2nd
alternator.
• Battery connections, inspecting condition of cables
from battery to engine. If in doubt measure the
voltage at the engine.
• If alternator charge problem, measure battery
voltage with engine off and again with engine
running, if there is an increase alternator is
functioning correctly, if not refer to check list.

remain on until engine rpm is increased to
approximately 1,000rpm if the engine was
started at tickover.
