Does anyone know what model Jacobs Brake these older 6V92 Detroits used (1982)?
Thanks Michael, the troubleshooting guide in the 2nd link discusses how to test the solenoid with current draw. I'll get my amp meter on it once it gets light out and get some readings. In any case this will be a learning experience understanding how it works. I may also try starting it up with the Switch Off and the Energizing/De-Energizing the system a few times for giggles.
Clarke, nominal 12 Volts DC in my case is around 12.7 Volts with the Diesel Running and the Alternator Charging ....I did have the Battery Merge Switch on because we are going to be Dry-Camping and wanted to charge the house bank.
I really don't want to take much apart until we get back from Doheny State Beach. I'll just limp along and pay close attention.
