Re: Converter replacement question Reply #25 – December 08, 2008, 05:23:42 pm Yahoo Message Number: 97780QuoteCould the fuse board go bad? I think that would be extremely unlikely unless it was physically twisted or scraped in a manner that would make the damage obvious. Any damage that would blow the 30 A fuses with the converter running would also blow them when only the battery was connected.The advice Steve gave in message 97744 about checking the converter output with a multimeter sounds like the best way to isolate the problem.MontiMonument, CO
Re: Converter replacement question Reply #26 – December 08, 2008, 11:19:00 pm Yahoo Message Number: 97782The converter output is 0v. I removed it, re-installed the original converter and powered it up with no fuses blowing. I measured output at 13.78v and it supplied 12v power with no problems other than the odor that I assume it due to overheating. I am hoping that replacing with a another new converter will solve the problem. I just don't see how it can be a problem with wiring. Thanks to everyone who posted. I'll let you know how it goes with the replacement

I'll let you know how it goes with the replacement in a few days. Colette I recently realized that I never posted with the final solution to the problem so here it is. We sent back the new converter and Best sent out a replacement. Hooked it up and all worked fine. Thanks again to everyone for your input. You guys are the best RVing community out there
