2514G popup lights, radio & fan only work on shore power

Brand new battery installed and now the interior lights, fan and radio only work when shore power is connected. When on 12V battery only, nothing works.
Can't figure it out!

Look for a inline resettable fuse along your positive lead off your battery going to your converter, also check your fuses in your converter panel.

All fuses check out ok. They worked in the fall when I winterized, now nothing.

Resetable circuitbreaker on the positive battery cable under the a frame.
You may have to do some digging but it's there.
Does it have a battery disconnect?

agree, you probably reversed the battery wires, tripping the resettable breaker pictured above. most common reason.
just push the tiny black button and make sure you have the battery wires correctly connected.

Positive I didn't reverse the battery cables, have had old battery in and out several times.
Did not find a resetable circuit breaker. Did however see the connections pictured attached directly to the battery, but no reset button on the thing. What is that anyway?

Those are auto reseting curcuit breakers.
Do you have voltage on both sides, or all four studs?

Yes, tested with a testing light. Will get a voltmeter and test later.

I suppose you tried the switch just to the left inside the doorway? Near the fire extinguisher?

I believe that is a power winch circuit breaker to raise the roof. Most resetable circuit breakers are underneath the frame. Follow your wires back to the convertor.

Check the two large 40A fuses in your convertor. They could be blown. Usually yellow .

It was the 30 amp fuse in the positive line. Replaced once but must have blown when I changed the battery.

Dilbert, I'm following your post as well. I have the same problem. With shore power - everything works. Unplug and nothing. I have a new battery (tested good), checked all inside fuses, checked the in-line fuse coming off the battery, and all relay posts on top of the battery show 12 volts. Just bought the pup used (2 year old HW276 popup) - it had the problem when I bought it and I assumed it was the battery. I see you fixed your problem by replacing the in line fuse - guess my problem is a little deeper.

Did you test the in-line fuse or just do a visual? I thought mine was good by looking at it. Didn't see any breaks thru the side view, but replaced it anyway and it fixed the problem.

Dilbert - thanks.... that was it.
My first visual test on the fuses missed a hairline crack - second test I used a continuity tester & found the bad fuse. Replaced it & all is up and running as it should. Thanks again. (Now I need to figure out this 1-1/2" outlet on the grey tank..... certainly won't work with my sewer hose!)
