Shooting off a flare: . . . _ _ _ . . .
Okay, my dislike of ONAN aside, here is a question.
The Onan screen control panel shows two power lines.
Line 1 and (yep) Line 2.
The AC according to the install manual is connected to Line 1.
In my Flagship series I commented on all the electric plugs we
had about the truck.
Well, three have gone dead. Two remain. ( Fault breaker is pushed on )
Line 1 shows: 121V : 13 A
Line 2 shows: 121V: 0A
Yesterday , Saturday the 10th, I began to experience weird power interruptions.
I had my Pod 3x guitar processor plugged in, which I use to practice while on the road, it has a Class Two Power Supply, Input 120 Volt AC 60 hertz and Output 9V AC 2000mA. I was in the swivel driver seat so I was plugged into the receptacle behind the passenger seat.
A coffee pot was plugged into the plug next to the sink.
There are two separate plugs there, the pot was in the one above the TV antenna plug.
Both units began to flash on and off. My POD would cycle between sign on screen then blank. I thought my power supply was going bad so I unplugged.
Linda began preparing diner. She said that the electric skillet would not come on.
It was plugged into the second input with the coffee pot. The usually blinking 1200 was not blinking on the coffee pot.
We switched to the plug below the TV antenna and the skillet worked but the coffee pots blinking 1200 was going crazy blinking very rapidly and then after a few seconds went blank. Now it will not turn on at all.
I know a dirty power source wreaks havoc on micro processors.
I am thinking my $300 pedal and $15 dollar coffee pot were just executed by this ONAN.
All these items worked without a problem on the Columbia, which also had an ONAN.
All that to ask this, does any one know if there is a reset for Line 2 and if there is, where is it?
I would like to resolve this asap but it may just be another item added to the list for the Dealer to look at.
I will call Bolt on Monday if I cannot resolve it today.
An FYI, were told about the Power Switch that shuts off the power to the condo located next to the drivers seat. It was recommended that if we were stopped for a spell over three days to shut the power off to save batteries.
This switch, in the manual, is also mentioned as a reset.
I turned the generator and inverted off, then switched the Power Switch to off.
Everything went dead. I mean everything, condo, qualcom, ameriscan, truck gauge panel, every thing. I thought only the condo would shut down.
Not really a problem just wasnt what I expected.
Now when I powered back on I still had the problems with our electric plugs.
So I went about my usual Sunday morning of checking the systems on the truck.
Tire pressure, axles, lift gate, cleaned the inside of the box, came in and turned on the Reefer and had it go 5C ( our next runs set point ) and fired up the truck to rebuild air pressure.
Okay, here is where I am going to, my air pressure was low from sitting a couple of days. When I started the truck I began to LOSE air pressure. I reved the motor and still lost pressure, the low air pressure warning light came on.
Okay okay the FYI, I believe when I shut the Power Switch off it affected something with the air pressure. An electrical sensor maybe? (We did hear a release of air when I shut the Power Switch off).
So after losing air pressure while the motor idled, I shut the truck off, and let it sit 5 minutes. I restarted the truck and the air pressure went up to 130 in usual manor. Did sitting those few minutes with the electric back on power up a system that effects the air pressure? Dont know?
Okay thats it, see ya.
