Yep. There are three relays up in behind the dashboard. Basically, find
your ashtray and your STE/ICE connector, and you should be able to feel up
in behind both of them and feel a mounting for three relays: one is the
starter relay, and the others are for the alternators. (Going from memory
here, folks.)
I have had a couple of 1009's where one or both of those relays have been
removed (standard Bosch-type accessory relays, if memory serves, the ones
with terminals marked things like "85", "87" and "87a"), and if that's the
story on your truck, it might explain why you're having problems.
Also, FYI, the bottom-most fuse on the fuse block is the 24V fuse for the
24V charging guage.
