Combines M 3 Charging problem

[tbran]

COIl on compressor draws 3-7 amps, fan motors 7 amps. 4 X 8 = 32 amps . Magnets draw 3-5 amps or 10 amps. That is 42 amps. Figuring system loss thats is 52 amps. How many lights do you haveIJ A bad switch can draw many amps. We usually install a relay for the lights and take the load off the switch. Suggest you get an inline amp gauge and check out each item individually.

Thanks tbran, We only have the factory stock lights so a switch is where i will look next.

I had the same problem took 2 years to figure out turned out to be a bad fan motor on air conditioner outside one of the two fans were shorting out .

I heard one of the motors making noise this morning. May be it is going bad.
