    anyone know where the low voltage sensor is located?? or how to bypass it?? mine must have just went out on me. I can pull into parking space, shut truck off, and plug in 100 watt inverter for computer and the low voltage alarm will go off within 30 seconds. so i unplug the inverter, and i can turn on sleeper light and same thing. I can then sit for 3-4 hours reading or whatever and the truck will fire right off, no low voltage. anyone replace one of these? if so how much$$$?

    Maybe you have a weak connection there someplace, check your voltage with a meter to see if that circiut is tdrawing to many amps on that leg.

    the only problem there is that if I do test the circuit, there's no telling where the drain is coming from. I would have to test EVERYTHING that draws on 12 volts. The sensor goes off when i turn on the lights, plug in the inverter, ect. I did fiddle with the panel in the sleeper, and it has stopped going off. I'm thinking loose connection in there or the panel itself is either shorting out or something. Anyone know if this is where the low voltage sensor is???

    WHERE ARE YOU PABLO???????????????????? :biggrin_25514:

    hello.
    yes, you can short low voltage protection relay, but next morning you may get all batteries low

    For things, you want to be connected w/o voltage protection I'd advice you add one more lighter socet and use acc power wire fuse box is powered with! it is thick, 4 mm2 wire! usually red. But do not forget to add 25A fuse in socket circuit!
