Good to hear. One problem down at no costs other than a little frustration. That switch has long been a point of confusion.

I am stumped. 13.65 volts would be the converter charging voltage. So apparently the converter is working. And it is on both the large red wire and the black wires. That would seem to make sense if...

Some, if not all, the fan will not run at low loads and will start as amps go up.

The 13.65 v would be the charging voltage of the converter. But I would have thought the large red wire went to...

Nope, makes no sense that I can see. I am not familiar with all the various versions of converters and fuse panels. Does your fuse panel have 3 large wire lugs? Possibly labeled POS (wire from...

It may take a little tug, but it should come out in one position. But the fact you measured 11.99 volts on both terminals says the switch is closed. For grins you could turn the switch to the...

OK. So you have battery voltage on both terminals of the disconnect. So converter voltage is not getting there. Now measure the voltage on the fuse panel VCC and POS terminals as noted above.

Wow! One terminal on that disconnect switch has a wire directly to one of the auto reset circuit breakers near the battery. So it should have the same 11.99 vdc you measured there. So that would...

Next step is to check the voltage on both terminals of your battery disconnect switch. They both should read the exact same.

Converter breaker off and no power to the fuses indicates fuse panel is not getting power from battery. But that should also mean the converter is not charging the battery. With converter breaker on,...

I suppose that could be due to a drop in voltage to the thermostat with the sudden surge of 12 vdc current into the short. Can they be restarted after the fuse blows?

Then the short is not in any of those circuits. Either the short is ahead of those switches, or that fuse also feeds some other circuit. Any thing else 12 vdc not working?
