How to fix a faulty Converter in one easy step!
So, On our last trip a few weeks ago I showed up at the campground unhitched and went inside to turn everything on, lo and behold our battery was basically dead.
I couldn't figure it out, earlier that morning things seemed okay. I borrowed a battery charger from the campground and charged the battery which lasted us the three days we were down there.
Anyway, today I finally had the time to test out the converter and when i hooked up my multimeter I got nothing, 0.0 volts. The converter is less than 2 years old so it made no sense that it would fail. i started looking around and what do i see but a plug just sitting there behind the converter. Hmmm I said to myself what is that for, and then it hit me Oh no, i ran new pex back there before my last trip and I must have knocked the plug out of the outlet. I plugged it back in, got 13.7 volts at the terminals, lights came on, even witht he battery on a trickle charger in the garage.
All is well inside my AS again. So thats how you fix a faulty converter in one easy step. You plug it back in!!!!!!!!!!!! man I felt like a dummy when i told my wife what happened.
