In CC there is only one switch one the water closet. You might have a blow fuse.

I bet the batteries are not hooked up right, you probably have two 12 volt instead of one 12 volt batteries

If you are sure the battery disconnect switch is on then check the two high current fuses in the distribution panel. If you plugged in to shore power with very low batteries or shorted the batteries when working on them, these fuses would blow and prevent the convertor from charging the batteries.

Dennis, can you tell us type of battery and quantity? The diagram inside the battery compartment is not correct.

Here is the correct way for 4 6 volt batteries to be connected.

Had same same. Checked and re checked but nothing seemed to work, then I flipped the main battery switch from the position is was in to the opposite (note there are only 2 positions) so flip the switch and that has fixed everything...

May not be a switch...... How old are your batteries? Are water levels correct?
