Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo TMD22a Intermittent electrical failure causing ...
Graham Boyd
Dear Pat,
I went through a long process spanning a year before I sorted this out, with several very informative calls to the engineer at Volspec in the UK (Cheapest Volvo parts I have found). Firstly the key mechanism was suspect. However, if you remove the black plastic cover on the forward side of the engine where you will find the start and stop solenoids (little grey boxes with push to reset buttons sticking out on the port side) and turn the key to off with engine not running....and you get a clicking sound coming from one of the solenoids...it's not the key. Next swap the two solenoids around....one is for start and the other for stop. If when you do this and the engine no longer starts you have found the problem. Next I was told to run a +ve connection from the alternator to the stop solenoid on the HP fuel pump whilst the engine was running and if it didn't stop then the fuel shut off solenoid was at fault.....of course that didn't work so I replaced the fuel shut off solenoid, and guess what problem still not fixed! At this point I gave up. The fresh water pump was leaking at this point which was beyond my confidence to replace due to timing belt replacement at same time so finally the professionals were called. Mechanic found that the 55 amp grounding fuse had blown, and as I a had replacement in my box all was sorted! Ever wished you'd called in the professionals sooner?! Finally I answer your question... the 55 A fuse will be underneath the black plastic box on the front side of the engine. It doesn't look like a fuse at all. It is a solid bit of white plastic with bolt on terminals at either end. The Volvo book says you should never go to sea without this spare part....which I carefully obeyed.....just didn't know when to change it!! I suspect your stopping problem may be more related to my recent start problem .. the solenoids in that black plastic box... Hope this is of assistance Good luck, Graham SM 140 Sula Hong Hong

Graham, I have the same problem , my engine will not stop with the key
quite often . If I keep turning it repeatedly finally it will stop. Where
is the ground fuse located ? Thanks, Pat SM123

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo TMD22a Intermittent electrical failure causing no start.

Thanks Bill I think that is probably what is causing the problem. For some reason Volvo call these solenoids fuses which is a bit odd. Anyway I have two arriving in Hong Kong tomorrow from the uk so I will replace both stop and start solenoids on spec and see what happens.

Graham, I am sure you have thought about this, but have you checked or replaced the negative start solenoid? I believe it is normally open and closes while starting. Solenoids can be intermittently cause headaches.

Volvo TMD22a Intermittent electrical failure causing no start.
Graham Boyd
For some time I could not get my Volvo TMD22A to stop using the key. Not a problem as there is a mechanical stop. An electrician finally traced the problem to the 55 amp grounding fuse which had blown. Fuse replaced problem solved.? Not quite... I now have a much more serious issue where occasionally when one turns the start key there is no power at the start control panel and obviously the engine does not start. So far, this only seems to happen when the engine is hot after a long run. Leave it for half an hour to cool and power to the starter panel returns. I am about to replace both the start and stop resettable fuse relays in the black plastic electrical box on the front of the engine to see if that helps. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] New Dolphin Battery charger?
Paul LaFrance <pflafrance@...>
Alexandre We had to replace our 50 Amp charger and did it with a Dolphin. The problem with the new one was it was the same size as the 100Amp Dolphin and we had to mount it sideways. The job was easily done and the wires came out the side toward the bow. The new charger has similar settings to the 100Amp so you can adjust the charge according to the type of battery bank you have.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] 50 AMP charger not charging crossing to Nassau
Alexandre Uster von Baar
Good morning Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Finally had the time to look at the battery charger. I tested the Dirupter breakers it is ok. I checked all the fuse, swap them and they are ok. I have the following lights: Green to show it is ON (which by the way very slighty pulse) so could that be "Fuse Def" is RED The owner manual says: if the ON/OFF light blink (which doesn't completely in my case) the causes are: Electrical Connection out not good. Temperature sensor external not well connected. Temperature sensor external in open circuit Short circuit or overcharge outside. I don't know what to do... Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Bay Street Marina, Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas. --------------------------------------------

The Dirupter breakers will fail, but normally they just pop OFF when failing. I have not had the problem, but I know that there is a small bag of extra ceramic tube fuses and some spade-type fuses taped to the left side of the chargers on BeBe 387. In the following photo, I circled the ceramic tube fuse, because I believe it is most likely, but check the spade fuses as well. Also, check to see if the fan is working. In my experience, the fan quits working and the charger overheats causing either a fuse to blow, or something else to burn up.
