Hello All;
My Sprinter has been sitting for a while and the "engine" battery has died. After 24 hr on a charger, it only reads about 3V. Ive ordered a new Deka AGM battery due to arrive later this week, but I want to tap the accumulated wisdom of this site to help me understand the various connections and devices associated with this battery before I disconnect it. Any help is appreciated. While Im mostly familiar with the !2V system in the camper, Ive never touched anything electrical in the engine compartment.
This is the engine battery:
Is the item at (1) some sort of protectivie fuse link in the 12V+ wire?
The item at (2) appears to be some sort of combiner. The lowest cable (3) must go to the house bank, its at 13.4V.
One of the cables above that comes from (1), the other (4) might go where?
The red wire with the yellow crimp has continuity with ground as does the adjacent blue taped lead.
Im guessing that (1) and (2) were installed as part of the camper package by Forest River?
This next picture is a detail of the positive battery terminal:
Is the red-taped cable to the left the main engine/starter lead?
The top unmarked cable to the right goes to (1) in the other photo.
What might those lower four red leads go to? Are they part of the camper fit out?
Thanks for looking. If anyone can offer suggestions, Id appreciate it. Is there a base T1N 2500 wiring diagram available anywhere that might help me understand what Im looking at?
Apologies in advance if Ive screwed up the post or the photos. This is my first post in a long time and my first experience with this newer forum software.
