Re: [a/s] Refurbishing 1976 Airstream 12 volt power problem



While working on a plumbing problem last weekend I ended up with a leak in
the water line in the center bath. At that time the lights were working.
However after fixing the leak and cleaning up the water I noticed that the
lights were out and checked the fuse box at the end of the kitchen counter.
Sure enough a  fuse was burned out. Well today I got a replacement fuse but
still no lights. I don't know for sure if the water leak caused a short or
if something else caused it. I did disconnect the bathroom exhaust fan wires
on Saturday while working on the leak but there are no bare wires touching
anything and I can't find anything else that could be causing this problem.
I am hooked up to shore power. Is there anything else about the univolt
converter that I should check. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
