[A/S] More on AC power light
I installed my new converter/charger last night.
Removing the old plastic Uni-volt bin was a hassle as part of it had
to be cut with a hand saw for removal. Thanks to the person who
suggested the expanding foam spray. That, combined with some sheets
of styrofoam were used to insulate the floor opening and forward wall
section and vent.
While everything with the converter seems to be going fine, I messed
around with that AC power indicator light again. Mine is and LED on
the tank monitor panel over the stove.
I clipped a jumper wire to the heavy chassis ground wire up front
(not the negative power wire) and then to the first terminal on the
left in the 12 volt fuse panel. This terminal is supposed to be for
the power indicator light, based on my owners manual.
In theory, this should have turned on the light, but it didn't. I
did check continuity between the ground wire and some random places
on the trailer frame and it is making a solid connection.
I will open up the monitor panel (I've made repairs to it before)
later this week to check for a bad solder joint or burned out LED.
Any suggestions are welcome.
