Replace Isolator AND Boost Solenoid with ML-ACR?
Our Powerline isolator failed during the last trip. I have read many of the "passionate" posts regarding replacement and almost hate to even ask about this, but here we go...
Installing a new FET isolator would be the easiest (I don't want a Perko switch), but I like the idea of a combiner. Here is what I'm thinking I can accomplish, but I may be overlooking some potential problem. I seems like a ML-ACR could replace the isolator, boost solenoid, and the Trik-L-Start functions. I would move the house battery cable from the boost solenoid to stud A on the ACR and the start battery cable to stud B along with the alternator output. Connecting the brown control wire from the ACR to the starter solenoid will isolate the banks during cranking. It looks like I could just connect the red control wire for the ACR manual combine function to the existing red wire from the boost switch. I would not be able to manually isolate the banks from the driver's seat this way, but I don't see a need for it. If this would work, it eliminates several connections and would simplify the isolator board a little bit. Clear as mud? Am I missing anything? Thanks for any thoughts.
