Not getting 12volt power from battery
I'm not getting 12 volt power from the battery to operate my 12 volt lights in my camper. I have 12.9 volts when I check the battery with a meter. My battery disconnect is turned to the off position. I get power to the 12 volt lights when connected to shore power. Any suggestions what to check?
Thanks
Steve

Turn the disconnect key clockwise to turn on power. I you can remove the key, the power is off.

Hi Steve,
Check the DC fuses in the circuit breaker panel, it they are blown the red LED will light. Also check battery negative has a good ground. If you have a meter check the two auto reset breakers near the battery.

I had a failed switch or so I thought. I jumped the two terminals which required removing the panel in the storage compartment next to the convenience center. That told me the the power was getting to the switch. I then worked the switch back and forth a few times and then I got power through the switch.
Use a jumper cable to jump the terminals.

I was able to finally get by to check and it was one of the auto reset breakers. Appreciate the help.
Thanks
Steve
