I'm having issues with my APU, it will start but only run for about 2min then shuts off, I can then turn power off then repeat the starting, it will always start but only run for the 2min...Any idea what could be happening here?

What brand is the APU and is the control panel showing any codes?
-
have you checked the oil or water, or belts? they have low water shutoff, low oil shutoff etc etc.
-
it is a tri pac, sais fault AL
-
i serviced it changed all filters and oil, the coolant is fine
-
Check and make sure both belts are on and tight(AC compressor is inline with alt,fyi). Check wires at back of alternator(have to remove cover). When the APU does run for the 2 minutes what voltage is showing on your inverter?

I think the al is code for alternator
-
It should be alt for alternator code unless he has lights out or its a different model controller than what i have. My alternator went bad, had the alt code, put new one on myself its simple plug and play.

12.7 volts showing
-
Battery isn't being charged is why its shutting down .. Could be the alternator a bad wire or fuse maybe even a loose belt happy hunting
