Generator turns off when turning on a light

Post by jpgalarza »

I need help!!! While I have the generator running. Once I turn on any interior light, the generator turns off. I looked at the fuses at the bottom of the bench, but the fuses seem ok. I really don't want to go to the shop because they charge an arm and a leg. Can someone please guide me to the right direction.

Thanks,
John

Ps. I have a 1994 B-190

My guess is that your DC voltage is dropping too low. How are your battery and converter? Do you have a multimeter?
