Ok not sure what I did here. I started the engine and the gen. while i was pluged in to shore power and now my converter quit charging the batterys. Did i some how blow out the converter? and if I did any idea on a cheep place to get a new one? the only way i can charge the batterys now is by running the engine.


Thanks

Check fuses before you buy anything. Either on the converter or at the fuse panel and at the batteries

i did check the fuses on the panel and dont see any inside of the converter. but i will go look again. ohh i can hear it buzzing just not puting out anything.

What brand is it

Is the 12 volt power to the coach on? Does it have an auto switch that might have flipped out?

not sure what brand the converter is but it is a 79 Vogue coach.

danno there was a fuse that would blow out from time to time in the main fuse panel in the rear if you have any questions call me

I was told long ago by an electrical specialist to have the inverter/charger off before plugging into shore power, then turn the charger back on.

Hey Danno, the convertor should have one or two 12 volt fuses located on the top or bottom of the convertor. Some convertors have a set screw that has to be loosened before you can remove the fuses. To test convertor operation, first ensure that it has 110 volts AC power supply via the power cord, then use 12 volt testor to check convertor output. If no 12 volt output and convertor fuses test good, unit is defective and needs rplacement. About $140.00 at Camping World.






Good luck, John
