1986 PT 38, lite plant battery goes dead, after reading the manual I find that the plant does not charge the plant battery but it is charged by the coach engine alternator. Looking at the motor home 12V schematic I see a diode in the plant battery charging circut, I assume this is why the plant battery is not charging. Does anyone know where this diode is located?
The coach lubrication instructions state that there is a grease fitting on the steering gear universal joint that is located behind the LF access panel. Can see the U joint but can not find a grease fitting. Has anybody ever found it?

seems like my comments about the generator battery are OBE.

Anyhow, I know of no one who has found that grease fitting. I know several guys who can't find it

BB Guru Mike Burkett says it doesn't exist -- sounds like a typo left over from previous years?

Found the diode and a 30 Amp breaker in the door on the right rear side of the coach where the 110V battery chargers are. You will see them as soon as you open the 2nd door. The diode was open and the breaker was burnt out. It is the type that opens when the load is to great and closes when it cools off. Replaced these 2 items and lite plant battery now charges when on the road or plugged in to shore power.
