Episode 010 - Beached Whale
December 14, 2014 by Finding Simon | Language: EN Play Time: 00:04:29 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Halfway there. We’ve been working on the electric issues off and on for three weeks. It’s been pretty tough for me, since this is mostly over my head and I’m learning as I go. A BIG thanks to every online who was giving me advice as I went on facebook and r/mechanicadvice
We have a no spark issue on a 1992 Dodge Ram Camper with a 360 5.9L V8. Bought it then passed its safety and got about 5 km from the garage after turning it off and back on three times, and coming up on an intersection it cut out. After unplugging the ECU connection and reconnecting it it fired up again and ran fine for a day then died and hasn’t started since.
ECU is definitely fried, and it seems like our charge isolator was also screwed, which may have cause over charging from the upgraded alternator. Additionally the cabin batteries were disconnected and frozen, so most likely toast. This may have all started there, which caused the isolator to fry, then the ECU and potentially other electronics.
