Atwood LP Propane 1amp fuse?

[John Geisen]

Our Atwood LP Propane gas detector was defective (solid yellow with chirp every 30 seconds). Of course it was driving me crazy so after ordering a new one I cut the wires to the defective one. Now, I no longer have power to the new detector.

The wiring diagram from the manufacturer shows a 1 amp fuse but for the life of me I can't figure out where it is located. Since the detectors are hot wired back to the battery that was the first place I went but the only wire there is for the hitch. If it helps we have a 2005 28' CCD. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Try looking forward where your DC bus bars are located. You will usually find a single in-line fuse holder for a glass-type tubular fuse that is wired directly to the hot side of the positive bus bar. This is one if the reasons that it is a constant parasitic load, as it is not part of the 'use/store' solenoid circuit that is disconnected when pin 'store' mode. It's powered all the time.

Thank Lewster. I'm looking but without much success. Do you think Airstream would have a clue?

O would hope so, but no guarantees.

Followed the Airstream protocol for requesting assistance. Within about 2 hours I received a reply from AS guiding me to the very front drivers side where they were even able to tell me the color of the wire. Fuse was clearly marked 1 amp. Replace it and all is good. I hope this might help anyone else with a 28' International and a blown inline fuse for their Atwood LP Gas Detector.

And Lewster, thanks for replying.

I also replaced my LP gas detector. I do not have power. I checked the fuses they look fine.

Still trying to fix my LP gas detector. No power. Replaced the 1 amp fuse. Not sure where to go from there.
