Warning buzzer

[Donald Kemp]

Have an alarm going off under dash at all times. Not levelers, not air. Only warning on dash is alt. and not sure about that. 05 Holiday Rambler, Indeavor w/ 400 ISL Cummins. Anyone have a suggestion?

You mean it is making noise even with the engine off? What kind of warning for the alternator? Over voltage or under voltage?

With engine running. Gague on dash does not move. Indicator on dash ALT. CHARGE does not go out.

That would sound like an alternator failure. I would check alternator voltage output with the engine running. I’m guessing it will be low or none.

Was hoping not. Like everything else it's a bear to get out. Thought that might be the case. At least it won't be as bad as replacing the head. Thank you for your help.

@Donald Kemp It’s possible you need only to clean the terminals on the alternator. The alt gauge on my ‘05 was indicating low voltage and after I cleaned the connections, all was and is well.

Thanks again. I have had nothing but problems since I bought it from camping world. They never fixed what they were supposed to. I had to replace the injectors, complete head. Since we bought it I don't think we put 5000 miles maybe on it. It had 90 and now has 102. Have had it for 3 years. Traded a nice GMC duramax and new 5th wheel. They took the 5th wheel back to factory because it was delaminating. Put side, rear and front on it and did a poor job. Was afraid it wouldn't be worth anything in a year or 2. Should have stayed with it.
