[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.
