50 amp cord showing red & green

[shawnc]

Hey all, Arctic Wolf 3500 electrical issue.

The lights on my 50 cord shows green and red lights. It's a fault I know that the wires are backwards. But I haven't done anything, it just happened. Trailer has some power, like microwave clock is on and the seats messager works. But the lights don't. Where should I start? Thank you

OK......this is at a campground, right? And you've done absolutely nothing to your cord or camper, correct? The next logical thing to check is if the campground had any recent work done.

AI Overview

On an RV power cord, LED lights typically indicate the power status and whether the wiring is correct, with a green or blue light signifying proper power and a red light indicating a potential problem like reversed polarity (incorrect wiring of the hot and neutral wires) or a ground issue; if both lights are on, it usually means a major wiring error.

I have had it plugged in to the house at home. I even pulled out the generator and plugged it into that with the same results.

OK.....that seems to isolate the issue to the camper. You say the micro works, and the seat massagers work. I assume the seats are 120V. I'm not completely familiar with your unit, but if I'm not mistaken, most or all lighting is 12vdc. That suggests you might want to start looking at your 120 VAC-to-12VDC converter. There may be an issue with that.
