Electrical problems

[Greeneggsslc]

Hey guys so we are plugged into shore power and everything is working except the inside lights. Any thoughts? I have check all fuses and it all seams good. We where using the 3 way fridge off the shore powers, everything was just fine before that and now the batter is 100% dead and no inside light even was using an alternate power source. Sorry it’s a 2009 eagle

Find it, and then pull the small Red or Silver "master knob" to the "OUT" position.

Hey thanks. But yes I have pulled that in and out and nothing happens. We are plugged into a house so the knob won’t make a difference. But that’s for the suggestion

You need to have the knob pulled out for the battery to get any charging from shore AC power and to run the camper lights.

Did you use a meter on the fuse?

Great thought Sage! ... If the Iota blew a fuse the battery will not charge.

The lights are probably on the common bus, that means it receives 12VDC from either the converter or the battery. So, the lights should switch on when on shore power, or when the battery switch is on.

Assuming there is power to the fuse, and the fuse is good, and If the Interior lights that are not working are the ceiling lights, there could be a wire break where it goes behind the lift panel. That’s been a recurring issue with older campers.

Thanks guys for all the help. The battery is back to full (not to sure why it died bumpy it’s holding a charge now). I will check with a Meereen when I get home. The strange thing is it’s been stored in the garage all winter. When I went in it last week everything was working great then a few days later no ceiling lights. So not sure something would kick loose. When you say left panel, do you mean behind the counter?

Lift panel. The wiring (as I recall) is usually routed to the front of the cab over, then behind the lift panel and into the roof structure. I’ll try and find some older threads on this. Here’s the link
