Resolved desperate about 12v power.

[Kevin D Pem]

Check for power on both sides of the relays. Check for power on both sides of the fuse holder. follow the switching wire back to the switch that activates it. One of the switches is on the dash called boost I think. Because the batteries are in the front the house shutoff switch is likely on the dash too.

I agree that Ice chests are a pain. only the bathroom has a candle, won't use them anyplace else. When sailing I had a flash light in every compartment. I still use flashlights a lot, most with both white LED and Red LED, only difference is I no longer have one in every compartment.

If you are in KC,KS I think shawnee mission parkway has a harbor freight. Price on that tool is $25, just looked it up. They are real easy to use. You could order on line if not close to one.

I use a lot of flashlights and a lot of batteries lol. So i tend to use usb rechargeable ones now. Also im switching out my stock interior lights for LED. My house battery stays up much longer with LED.
Anyways what would be the chance of doing like a phone call when the both of us have a little time? Might actually get my stuff fixed because i tend to get side tracked and not read the forum for a while. Tomorrow or the next day would be good for me. Just let me know a time and i will shoot you my number.
Thanks

It looks like you have 2 fuses. The ones with the 2 terminals. You can check voltage between the terminals on each fuse and if you don't get a reading then that one is tripped.
NOTE: I am not talking about the disconnected fuse hold in the foreground, but I do wonder what it is for?

 

[K-Rae]

It looks like it is hooked up to a extra horn last owner had

and both terminals do read on my multimeter and test light

 

[K-Rae]

i dont know if both sides are supposed to read but the positive side does read on both

 

[K-Rae]

oh and i do not have a shut off switch anywhere There is a setup switch that the last owner put in but it's not hooked up to anything and hasn't been for almost 2 years

Can i spray those 2 relays with wd-40?

It won't do any good.

If you are going terminal to ground and one is reading and the other is not, then the fuse is blown.

Attention Attention!!!!
Yes yes yes!
I got my power back on.
Thank you sooooo much. I couldn't have done it without RVforums, Kevin and to whoever else chimed in. I wish i could come give you a big hug. Thank you so very much. I am forever grateful! ?

 

[K-Rae]

Now i am truly....."A happy camper" ?

Who Hooo!!! Well done! Glad you have your 12V power back, but even more glad that you stuck with it and, with some coaching, found and fixed the problem. And, in reading through this thread, @Kevin D Pem and @BGMAC were, indeed, major contributors. Nicely done! Sharing knowledge is what it is all about around here.

Thank you thank you and to tell the truth. Im quite shocked i stuck with it as well because i tend to get a little side tracked at times. And really glad i dont have to buy ice, gas for my genny and other sources of light. Thanks guys. I guess this thread can be tagged solved and closed.

 

[Kevin D Pem]

Glad your back up

What was the issue?

 

[Kevin D Pem]

Talked to her on the phone. narrowed it down to the auto reset breaker in the picture.
