Wraith 35F solar panel

[Bloose]

I have a Wraith 35F. The solar controller shows that there is no input from the panel. I checked the back of the controller and sure enough, nothing. I went up on the roof and the panel has output. That means somewhere between the panel and the controller there is a problem. I cannot find an inline fuse in any of the wiring I can access. I've looked in the cavity above the microwave and behind the drawers in the lower lower cabinets. I have also checked the electrical compartment above the house batteries. I did find the fuse from the house battery to the controller (or controller to house batteries), but, nothing between the panel gland and the controller. I don't know if there is a fuse or what.

Does anyone know where or how to find it or if there is one?

Thanks,
Bloose

Is there a connection at the roof where the wires feed down behind the microwave? I assume you pulled it apart to measure output of the panel but that does not mean it is going into the wire down to the controller.

On the roof is there an mc-4 fuse holder and fuse?

There is a gland on the roof that the solar panel leads plug in to. There is no easy way to remove it or open it from on top. It is sealed with Dicor or a similar product. From the inside there is a hole about the microwave cabinet with wiring for I believe the AC unit and also the solar panel leads. It is not near enough to the gland it get any look at it.

I may have to break down and work at the sealant until I can remove the gland from on top of the roof. Then I can fix or replace it and at least know I have continuity to wires that would go to at least to the cavity (cabinet) above the microwave.

The gland on the roof looks similar to this.

I don't believe there is but I will double check.

Well, if the power is going in and not coming out......
