Power Drive3 question

8-point · 01-20-2014, 05:34 PM

After a ride through the hunting club I plugged the charger up. I noticed the charger going through the usual clicking off then on but then a real (out of the ordinary) loud hum when it cycled back on a little later. Then silence and a click or two and that was it. It quit. Should I let it rest over night a start a charge in the AM?

Does the breaker pop? Did you see any smoke?

No smoke. I do notice now when I plug in the charger it clicks as usual but does not start charging.

Have you checked the fuse in the yellow holder and on back of charge receptacle? Check all connections

I'm pretty sure the POWERWISE 3 is loud sometimes and it gets real hot, I'm pretty sure this is normal. Search the threads for your concerns I think there are other post about this same thing.

When it began charging it was normal. Normal sounding hum then the OBC did its thing (shutting down then back on) running diagnostics. Little while later when the OBC shut it down again but this time when it came back on it was humming louder briefly and shut right back off. It stayed off.
later I unplugged everything and started over by plugging everything back in as usual and all I get is a click. It's like the OBC is telling the charger to come on but the charger only makes a click.

Did you check the big fuse on the back of the receptacle? Its got the clear cover on it. I just had a PD3 do this and that's what it was. Again, check all connections

Will do.

All connections and fuses good. Just in case it's the charger, I did find some info on my charger (#26560) that describe some tests to run.
