Did you just tie the engine sense line right into the positive feed line? I know my 2014 F-350 has a "computer controlled" alternator, but it seems that it is always putting out 13.75 volts and then if it senses it needs it can bump it up to 14.something.wicked1 said:Redarc actually recommends 4 or 6awg, depending on the length of the run. Their install manual goes from 2 to 6, depending on the run. There's a little chart in it.
And, same as you, only w/ redarc, it did not like the 10awg factory wiring. Redarc and Mule both suggested I upgrade it, which I did, and problem solved.
redarc does have a engine sense line, but it is not "required" unless you have a smart alternator.
I don't have a smart alternator, but maybe connecting that line would have solved the issues I was having w/ voltage drop.. Not sure.. I just ran heavier wire.
Sounds like if the least it's going to put out is 13.75 then I don't need the engine sense line and the RedArc BCDC will just sense the increased voltage via positive input and power the unit on?
