ok all. Units up and running the 12/573 wire was cut off right at the loom in the battery box. 2 wires were cut going into the relay. The wires to the AC unit are all chopped up. There are allot of stories about this particular depot having gov liq employees buying & selling “all of the good...

Ok ok it appears that relay is half 12 volt half 24 volt. So if we power up there we should know something.

I agree, i have no power at the 290-291-537 12 volt feed into the trans circuit breaker. Once i find out why and supply that i am confident this system will wake up, then i have to make sure all 200 wires i deisconnected and tested are back where they belong etc

ok looking at lunch a buddies operational / Similiar unit Wire 290-291B is hot 12 volt power in regardless of igintion. If nothing else we should be able to get that live with 12 volt in and check trans operation a bit thanks Mike
