POWERDRIVE CHARGER (EXTERNAL)
NOTE: All vehicles except Precedent: Repeated failure of sense lead fuses is a symptom of a voltage
supressor that has failed in a closed condition.
Precedent vehicles only: Failure of the onboard computer (prior to Version 3.0) due to a blown
internal sense lead fuse is a symptom of a voltage supressor that has failed in a closed condition.
The Version 3.0 and 4.0 onboard computers will quickly flash the battery warning light on the dash
to indicate a problem with the voltage supressor.
Relay
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Remove black (3) and tan (4) wires from contact terminals of the relay (Figure 3-22, Page 3-23). Place
continuity test probes on contact terminals of the relay. The tester should indicate no continuity. If tester
indicates continuity, the relay contacts have failed closed and the relay must be replaced.
4. Place continuity test probes on contact terminals of relay. With batteries connected, insert DC plug into
receptacle. The tester should indicate continuity. If tester does not indicate continuity, relay must be
replaced.
Ammeter

2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Disconnect the black wire from the left ammeter post (as viewed from inside the charger).
4. Place the continuity tester clip on one of the ammeter posts.
5. Place the continuity test probe on the other ammeter post. The tester should indicate continuity. If the
tester does not indicate continuity, replace the ammeter.
AC Circuit Breaker
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Remove the charger cover.
3. Disconnect the wires from the AC circuit breaker.
4. Place the continuity test probes on the two terminals of the AC circuit breaker. The tester should indicate
continuity. If the tester does not indicate continuity, replace the AC circuit breaker.
