Help Dead Battery!

[VTPete]

So the fuse was white when you checked?

@VTPete The picture I attached was taken just a few moments ago. It looks white to me, though I do see a touch of pink. Still, the pic you had the whole thing was pink.

Can I try to use the boost switch to jump the house batteries from the chassis? Is that possible? Ill-advised?

 

[VTPete]

I think that works the other way around - the house boosts the chassis batteries.

@MapNerd … My 300 amp fuse blew once and I did not know about it turning pink if bad. I think I used a meter to check it. That's the only thing I could think of at the time. I now carry an extra one of them.

It had a trace of pink- but could have been anti corrosion spray. I’d get a meter on it if you can - if the house /inverter side is dead you’ll have your answer. I’ve carried a spare ever since this happened to me when I first got the rig.

Would starting g you engine solve the issue?

Tried. No dice but it’s late so I didn’t run it very long. Numbers didn’t change on display.

Sounds like the transfer switch may be shot.

Did a continuity test on the 300amp, put a probe on the metal holding each end and got tone,
