Newbie here.......Bad OCM charger conversion ??
Ok guys I am a noob to this awesome place. I have an 02 that has an apparent charging issue. 3 weeks ago, after I installed brand new batteries and the charging/battery light came on, I plugged in my charger to charge it up. The charger came on. It was on for roughly 30 seconds then shut off. A small amount of time went by and the charger came back on. I didn't want to potentially fry my batteries with this on/off business so I unplugged the charger. I decided the issue was the OCM from what I read when I searched google. So I disconnected the OCM, ran a negative cable, roughly a foot long, from the negative on the back of the plug in area(its the correct negative there buddy) to the negative battery terminal. I unplugged all other connections to the batteries(ex. the positive and negative ones) that run to the motor/brain box/area in the back. I then plugged in my charger to see if this would work, it never turned on. I read somewhere that I had to connect a 15 amp fuse to 2 wires in my charger but I have no idea which ones they are. If someone would please help me out with which wires I need to connect with the fuse I would be very grateful. Any input with any ideas would be great. I would love to use this for Deer Hunting this weekend, its why I bought it in the first place :).

I have the 48v system. This was ongoing like that for 10 minutes or so....on/off/on/off. So what your telling me is that, that is normal?

Before I took the OCM off, the charger would no longer turn on for 10 seconds or so. It would just instantly kick the fuse off/reset button.

Could this be the result of a bad diode in the charger?
the on/off/on/off was before I did anything to the OBC. |
