Re: [tabtrailers] Re: no electricity when plugged in

 

I just sent a reply to Nick before receiving your message. If your converter has the reverse wiring protection circuit in it, it would explain why the battery is not being charged, and correcting the wiring should take care of that. Again, if the heater is plugged into a 120VAC outlet, that should not have anything at all to do with draining the battery. It probably was not doing fine at home--the battery had just not been drained. The refrigerator and lamps will drain the battery. It was not being recharged because of the lead reversal. What was wrong was the battery lead reversal. The furnace will not work if it doesn't have the battery voltage with the right polarity.

This morning I rechecked the battery to be sure it was hooked up right, only to discover, the positive had been hooked to the negative. Been that way for 2 days now. It was dark when I checked that in the beginning of all this , guess I missed that. Have I damaged the converter now? Is that what is making the problems? I have the red on positive, black on negative, just to clarify. It was hooked up opposite of that. I looked on line to check it before I changed it around. Snow flurries this morning, but supposed to be 50 this afternoon. Better get going, it's already 11 am. The little heater will work, we just keep it on low to keep the drain it might make down. This is all such a mystery.. Still can't imagine why all worked fine at home. Things were plugged in for about 12 hours before we left. I think, I'm at the point that I'm just venting, but I am also wondering how to begin to find out what is wrong when we get home.
