I’ll try to keep the back story brief. About 2 months ago I was hunting and ended up taking my Tacoma/swift on way more tough 4x4 roads than I wanted. After a long decent down to a normal road I heard some clunking every 10-20 seconds. I got to a good spot and investigated and found that the thermal fuse under the hood was the culprit. Checked inside the camper and either the thermal fuse there or the blue sea ACR was doing the same. Couldn’t tel which. So I unscrewed the battery wire under the hood which solved the issue and the camper electronic seemed fine. I taped it up and went on my way.
Came home to troubleshoot and I connected everything back as it was and I couldn’t replicate it. Fast forward to this week and it started again. I let it just click away as I was at work but it stopped shortly after.
Went home again to troubleshoot. Tested both thermal fuses and both are toast (no continuity between poles). Picked up two new ones today and the clicking began again at both. I unhooked everything to avoid damage.
Can someone confirm that the A side of the blue sea ACR goes directly to the truck battery? If so, when I test continuity between each wire end to a ground there is a closed loop (even with both ends, A side and truck batt side, not connected to anything.
I traced the wires under the truck and did not detect any damage at all.
Is my troubleshooting on the right path? The only thing I haven’t done is inspect the plug itself because I haven’t taken off the camper.
