Okay, will email you. Yup, didn't want to hear that, but you ask, and your bound to get some bad news after doing what I did. BTW the solenoid on the bottom right of the firewall electrical control panel, had a 5 amp blade fuse ON the solenoid cap that was blown. Never seen one there before, but I replaced it. Also, there is a light blue wire which runs from the small solenoid post, over the radiator, and to a frame mounted isolater relay box. Looking at the circuit board for this plastic box unit, there are bubbles in the circuit paths, which seems to indicate that it got real hot there. Haven't looked at resistors and what not on the busy side of the board yet, but there are probably components fried there if the board got that hot. What does this small unit (isolater relay) do exactly? I'm not afraid of soldering components onto a circuit board if I happen to find a toasted one, and if I knew what component I fried in the converter (if that's it) I'd try to replace the component to keep the unit original. However, I pulled all the screws in the cabinet to the converter unit, got the front cover off to see the the 12V and 110 contact switches, but the whole darn unit will not slide out of the woodwork, so I can't see what is in the back section. In answer to your question, yes, lights and applianances work on shore power, although heater doesn't want to fire/runs slow and TV has reduced screen size indicating insufficient amps to the system. Likewise, all systems work when the 454 Chev engine is running, but the coach batteries don't charge from that either. Just a question, could a short in the coach batteries cause similar symptoms? I obviously want to eliminate the easy stuff first before I give up on the converter/charger completely. I appreciate your help and patience. If anyone one else has ideas, I'd love to hear them, as I print them out and chase stuff down as time permits. Besides, you always learn stuff that might come in handy later, even if it doesn't apply to the immediate problem. Thanks again. |
