i have a new converter/charger, multi meter reads 13.5 v coming out. at the battery end of cables i am only getting a reading of .2 v.. does anyone have any ideas?
Is your house battery far from the converter or right next to it where you can easily do some testing?i have a new converter/charger, multi meter reads 13.5 v coming out. at the battery end of cables i am only getting a reading of .2 v.. does anyone have any ideas?
I wonder why there are relays or solenoids involved between the battery and converter. I would think it would be direct, but I don't know about the Winnie design, so I should let others try to help you from here.i'm thinking it is something to do with a solenoid or the relay
i did check the 12 v breakers , none are triped. the inverter is powering the interior lights fine.
this is where i traced the positive cable to.?
That is the charge and boost solenoid that connects the engine and house systems together when the engine is running. Those are prone to failure although that is a continuous duty made in USA one, but they still fail.What about the solenoid below the one at the top? Have you checked there at all?
Looking at the schematic you linked to it would seem to be that way, other than the fact that the wire colors don't match, but that may not be a problem. I was not aware of the schematics that Winnebago has, which are far superior to what most manufacturers provide. Do you mind sharing how to find those?The top relay is the one operated by the "salesmans switch" by the door, where you turn the batteries on or off. It is a "flip flop" relay that stays where ever it is driven to. There are two fuses in the top of it, in those raised square protrusions. Not likely to fail but could, they are for the power that moves the relay.
