More 12v Issues

Having issues with our 12 volt system. Installed a new battery last weekend, the slides now work fine but nothing else operates on 12 volt. There is a bank of 3 manual reset switches near the battery box and battery wiring and none are tripped. No fuses are blown including the ones for the converter, no breakers are tripping at the breaker box. The unit is a 2014 31 RK, wondering if there is another 12 v manual reset switch I am overlooking. Thanks for any suggestions.

Did you test everything with a meter? A lot of times those breakers won't appear to be tripped when they're actually open. Also fuses have a way of 'looking' good when they're actually blown.

When I first read your post, my initial thought was reverse polarity fuses had blown.

Bama,

Thanks, figured out the problem late last night, had the battery disconnect in the off position, switched it to the on position and the 12 volt components now work off the battery.
