First issue with my 86 300DB.
In my battery area I have two batteries, the gen-set box and a silver box with a amp gage on it.
This silver box, which has 2 white wires hooked to the + sides of the batteries and 1 black wire hooked to one battery with a jumper to the other one. I am assuming this is the charger, converter.
Found both batteries completely dead. Replace one battery and disconnected the other white lead and wrapped it in electrical tape. I tried to totally disconnect the white wires, but nothing on DC power.
Issue: When I throw the converter switch on the electrical panel, it trips the C/B.
All I want is DC power at this point so I can see what works and doesn't work.
Bad converter/charger or am I missing something here?
