Voltage Variation / Traxide installed. |
|
I have a Traxide SC80 - LR system and Optima Yellow Top second battery installed.
I seem to have fluctuation of voltage when I connect a Engel car fridge to this system, it shows by fluctuating display light levels of the info screen, radio screen and rough idleing of my TDV6.
If I stop (leave engine running) and disconnect the fridge the fluctuation continues and is also noticable with the interior lights also fluctuating.
If I stop and restart the vehicle without the fridge connected the fluctuating stops.
Any ideas? 2005 TDV6 HSE Silver, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Onroad - 19" GG AT's, Offroad - 18" 275/65 MT, Traxside Dual Battery kit, Rasta Protection Plate, Alpine Roof, BAS Remap, ARB Air Compressor, eDiff Custom Drawer and storage unit -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, 4x4 Intellegence RWC, 120ltr Long range tank, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate Beanie grill, De Tango.

Sounds more like a problem with the fridge? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Ok rang Traxide,
First thing disconnect link between batteries.
Test all ok, fridge running, no fluctuation.
Next test will be on Optima Yellow Top - load test to check.
If it was the fridge why would the fluctuation continue when the fridge is disconnected when engine going and batteries linked?
See what the battery test shows. 2005 TDV6 HSE Silver, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Onroad - 19" GG AT's, Offroad - 18" 275/65 MT, Traxside Dual Battery kit, Rasta Protection Plate, Alpine Roof, BAS Remap, ARB Air Compressor, eDiff Custom Drawer and storage unit -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, 4x4 Intellegence RWC, 120ltr Long range tank, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate Beanie grill, De Tango.

Must read post properly. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Both batteries "A Ok"
Could not find any fault!
Went away for a short 3350 klm drive with Engle fridge plugged in without the problem ever showing itself again.
Oh well I guess I may never know what caused it! 2005 TDV6 HSE Silver, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Onroad - 19" GG AT's, Offroad - 18" 275/65 MT, Traxside Dual Battery kit, Rasta Protection Plate, Alpine Roof, BAS Remap, ARB Air Compressor, eDiff Custom Drawer and storage unit -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, 4x4 Intellegence RWC, 120ltr Long range tank, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate Beanie grill, De Tango.

I know this a very old post but my d3 is doing the same thing after a new alternator was fitted. Did this issue come back?
