Electrical short on GFCI supply circuit
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I searched the forums for something similar without any luck but my wife says I'm horrible at finding stuff so please advise if this is covered somewhere. Trying to avoid a 600 km round trip to the dealer.
My 2019 Flagstaff e-pro e19fd appears to have a short between the live and ground wire on the GFI outlet supply cable (less than 1 ohm). The resistance reading was done with both ends of the cable disconnected (no inverter or GFCI receptical).
The cable appears to run under the floor from the inverter directly to the GFCI outlet line side and then goes on to feeds all the other outlets. It's the same color and type of cable at both ends but not certain if there are any buses or junctions under the floor?
Unless running off the batteries the inverter is in bypass mode. The short was causing the inverter to trip its built-in breaker. I found the short when I disconnected the cable to test the inverter, fortunately the inverter is still functioning properly. Also tested the GFCI and it's also ok.
Not sure when the short occured but I think while driving.
Question: The cable runs in the floor and appears to be accessible from under the trailer but there is a protective black under layer material that I think if removed I could see the cables and find the fault? Or maybe I'm missing something reladed to the short? Any and all sugestions very much appreciated.
Cheers!
Steve
