Anyone know how the wiring in a 1997 E350 ambulance is supposed to be connected?
I've found that my starting batteries drain along with the house batteries... & that the (+) of the starting battery under the hood is connected to the center conector of the battery Isolator. Furthermore, when I disconnect the two house batteries, all the house systems still have 12.3 v.
I need to dig deeper, but in a nutshell, I'm trying to sort out how the 215amp alternator is supposed to be connected and to which terminals so that all the electronics work right.
1) All the batteries are new.
2) Alternator is new and puts out 14.1-14.2 volts.
3) The Diaode isolator is not ideal, but that's what I've got to start with, and I'd like to have it wired right before I try to get rid of it.
4) 7.3 PSD, Mitsubishi 215 amp, 1997 E350, Crestline 'New Era' ambulance, 2 starting & 2 Marine batteries.
