Thanks for your reply. Pretty sure the AC isn't feeding it.  I hear the relay kicking on and off when I flip the switch on the thermostat.  I did replace both thermostats recently.  Measured voltages at the panel on the Thermostat and at the AC unit itself.  When I measure the AC in the box...

OK, its been awhile but I have spent time this past weekend tracking this issue.  No power or AC to the AC.... (thats supposed to be funny).  Breaker shows power.  In the wiring diagrams it shows a sub-panel for AC but I cant find it. Anyone got an idea where it is?  I used a volt meter and a...

Ok Experts! Need some advice.  I may need to plug into a 15 amp ckt this weekend.  I just tested it and set the input to 15 on the new Magna Sine to 15 amp input, and I was able to run the heat, lights, Micro and more, but it was drawing between 15 and 20 amps. (running on a standard  house...

Thanks folks! Much appreciated!  It was the solenoid.  I gutted it for now, (5 screws), checked for leaks and was able to get heat and the cooktop working!  Another step forward! Next up is to test the fridge on gas and the TV replacement this weekend.... BTW:  1/4 tank + left.  Enough for...

HA!  Maybe I shouldn't be multi-tasking while working... Rewired the 12 volt cigarette lighter to use GPS on my phone...  Was blowing fuses due to a wiring nightmare.  Removed all the excess junk and connections and works fine now.

Hi Gary - Was testing any gas flow so I turned the heat on to see if I could get it flowing to the furnace... Stove shouldn't need anything to flow.. most simple appliance but was trying to clear the lines if there was any air in them Hi AStravelers - if I open the vent on the onboard tank...

Took a look after work (Mind you I work 12-16 per day) Redflag 1 No power to the detector..... - unscrewed the detector off the wall and it was unplugged.  Plugged it back in and green. (not sure if there is another one I am missing) Redflag two... pulled the thermostat off the wall and big...

Thanks again!  I will see if its on or not.  (the detector).  And regardless I would like a couple new detectors for safety.  I see too many of these in savage yards burned up when looking for parts.  Not sure I can remove the part entirely without adding a splice but will take a look.  I would...

Thanks Gary,  There is a two wire device after what I believe is the regulator.  That could be it. Thanks Kevin, I did try turning on and off a few times but will try slower!

Good Guess, but I figured if I could open the vent and it blows, there is a bit in there?  I guess the next step is to fill it up.

Again a 1996 American Eagle. Now trying to get the propane to work.  Valve is on and the most basic thing should work?  I tried to light the stovetop but not smelling any gas.  Auto-ignite is flashing.  Furnace isn't working (Well the fan is).  Fridge isn't working on LP either.  Seems like...

Thanks Gary, Its still on the list but I haven't been able to find the source of the outage... Moving on to other issues.... Cj

Thanks Gary, I was hoping it went to the roof unit then down into the sub panel but I knew in my heart that wasn't right...  Was also hoping I was missing something but....  Power at the breaker and none at the sub-panel leads me to believe the wires are broken, or there is another box...

Howdy! A few of you helped me with my inverter which I used an old topic for in the past.  Ended up replacing it with a brand new one which hurt the wallet a bit. Long story short either the RV I have (new to me in the last few months) was hit by lightning, plugged into improper power, or ??? ...

Ended up getting a new Magnum ($$).  Should be here in a week or so. Sucks but needed. Thanks for the help! Cj
