50 Amp Does Not Indicate 50 Amp At Intellitec

Here is a place to test with a volt meter. If you check Hot to Hot (L-1 to L-2) you should read 240 volts. if they have cheated then you will get no reading of voltage. A check of each leg to a ground or neutral will detect 120 volts on each but you are getting power from the same source and not from two different legs.

Yup, outer straight to outer straight= hot to hot= 240 VAC

I was able to start my Expedition after it sat since last September. I installed my trickle charger to the starting battery and after 24 hour charge I got my cat diesel started.

I hooked up my 30 amp supply line through and adapter to my amp 4 prong plug and the Intellitec either searches, or indicates that I'm hooked up to 50 amp which I'm not.

No readout indicated as to which voltage I have just small indicator led light opposite 50 amp.

Finally determined just what the causal factor is for the Intellitec is, determined that the breaker for the washer/dryer was off and after turning it to the on

position, Intellitec is now indicating correctly. The washer/dryer breaker was off at panel because we don't use it, so no need to have the breaker on.

As to why Fleetwood would wire/assemble it this way I would not know.

I went through this issue a couple of years ago. The input for L1 and L2 voltage sensors are connected to the sheding system. On mine it is relay 3 and 5 (L1 and L2) and relay 3 was connected the dryer breaker (I don't have a dryer) which I turned off causing the problem. I swapped the use of that relay with the water heater which is always on. The shed display is no longer correct but it doesn't matter to me.
