My new to me M109A3 has the power converter under passenger seat that actually works. The deal is that it comes on when i switch on the battery. Surely there is a separate switch right? I am going through the pubs now but need to get that converter turned off sooner than later.

I think that power converter is a modification, I've never heard of one under the passenger seat. I don't think you'll find any info about it and will need to trace the wiring.

The only power converter I'm aware of in a stock M109A3 is the one mounted to the wall inside the box.

There is NO power converter in the m109a3 stock. The box in the back is for power input of 110 and 24v. Nothing is converted.

Roger on all. I do think i like it though. It works great but just a little loud. Will put a power switch on it. It is wired directly to the battery switch under dash.

There is a 110V to 24V Transformer in the back of M109s. That is what I'm calling the power converter. It powers the 24V exhaust fan on AC power.
