1996 Winnebago Adventurer Electrical
Good evening all. I'm reaching out to the winnie community for some help troubleshooting an electrical issue with the chassis battery.
Long story short, battery was replaced from the motorhome sitting for a while. Vehicle started fine and after about 20 minutes of running the negative cable at the battery post connection became hot and melted the connector (Marine battery post connection). The negative cable was very hot to the touch at the battery. I changed the battery connector again, checked for tightness and same issue again with a hot negative battery cable and melted connection. After research for the issue I changed the negative cable (corrosion and some fraying at the cable connection) from the engine block back to the battery along with a new battery connection to the post. All connections very tight as well.
Vehicle started fine and ran fine after 25 or so minutes. I turned off the vehicle and tried to restart, but nothing happened as if the battery did not have enough voltage to start. I checked the battery and connections again and noticed the negative battery cable very hot again so I disconnected the battery.
According to the chassis electrical drawing it shows a connection between the chassis negative battery to the negative block on the frame with the coach negative battery. This is not connected on my set up and I am not certain this is the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Mike
