Electric Question

I have a Grey Wolf 29BH. I am not getting power to anything with battery power. I have changed out my converter and circuit card. Other than that everything works when I am plugged in. Any ideas would greatly helpful.

All of your fuses ok? Does not take much to blow a main fuse.

Is there any other fuses or circuits between the battery and the main fuse box?

Yes, you most likely have a resettable 12 volt DC circuit breaker on your frame rail. This has a small button on it, you press to reset. We have many many threads on this, Here is just a recent one.

Another things that can cause your symptom, is if there is a battery disconnect somewhere, and it's turned off...which disconnects the battery from the parasitic electrical draws. We have members who don't realize this also cuts off the 12 volt DC power to most everything. Some RV's have a factory installed battery disconnect switch. It's possible yours does.

I would venture to say your problem is caused from the resettable circuit breaker being tripped (find it and press the small button if equipped)...or you have a battery disconnect turned off (if equipped)

by change did you just get it from the dealer? has it worked on battery before? this is a stupid thought but is the battery installed and connected? if so, probably that resettable circuit breaker.

Everything is hooked up correctly. I will look for the resettable circuit breaker. Thanks everyone.

Are you talking about a Converter or Inverter? because a converter is for making 110v ac to dc and a inverter is for 12v dc to 110?
