The unit is a 95 John Deere 310D backhoe. The problem is that I am not charging. I get 12.53 volts on the battery when the unit is off. I can start and run the unit fine but with the engine running, I get 12.30 volts. It runs for a long time before the voltage drops and sets the parking brake till I recharge the batteries.
All of the dash lights stay lit the whole time the key is on. The buzzer and the dash lights have been unplugged for now, but all do work. I only have them unplugged so they don’t annoy me and get overly hot.
I have replaced the alternator so far and was ticked to find out that it was not the issue after all. I am now aware of the Alternator sense relay in the dash and am wondering if that would be the issue. I also know about the regulator, but this new Re-manufactured Deere part appears to have one built in.
Can someone smarter than me shed some light on this situation? Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. I think I will be replacing the relay as soon as tomorrow and will update if I learn anything.
Thanks!!
