One 110 Volt Electric Circuit 2000 Magna

Yahoo Message Number: 55294
Hi All

I woke up this morning with no power to the electric plug outlets in the kitchen.
This is the circuit that powers four outlets, the Pottie room, the Outlet over Washer/Dryer (this is in kitchen - which washer/dryer and Micro works fine), the outlet at the front end of the counter next to Couch, one in front of the sink.
I have tried all the obvious things. GFI is working. Inverter resets are good. Under Bay auxiliary breakers are ok. Just this one circuit is down.

Every thing else is working.

I'm stumped. Manuals I have don't help.

Any ideals would be greatly appreciated.

Just had the same type of problem on our 07 Allure.
Breaker set & OK. Power to the GFI and out to the plug in the bedroom OK.
No power to the plugs in the kitchen, computer table, passsenger side outlet, bay outlet or under dash outlet.
Found a Molex plug that connected the front 1/2 of the coach to the rear 1/2 was bad.
This is a flat white plastic gizmo that has squeeze type wire connections on both the male & female halves.
It was screwed to the back (inside) of the baseboard under the refrigerator. Had to remove the drawers under the fridge to get at it. Pulled it back from the baseboard and twisted and wiggled the thing. Had wife watching a light plugged into one of the kitchen outlets. Light flashed on and off.
Opened breaker removed wires from both sides of Molex connector and put it in the trash. Wire nutted wires together (3 black 3 white & 3 ground) turned on breaker and we had power.

Did my famous Tarzan Yell and put the house back together.

Bo, try disconnecting from shore power with the inverter on. Do those outlets then work off of the inverter?

My Tachometer had a cut in and out problem starting about a month after I picked up my coach from the factory. Everything looked like it was wired properly and I called CC and they sent me a replacement tach. It worked OK for a while then it too had the in and out problem.
A couple of years later while wiring a new radio I discovered that one of the wires from the tack was not fully seated in a multi wire plug connector buried below and in front of the radio. This was the cause of the intermittent tachometer problem.
The plug was red in color with about 8 wires connected to it.
My reaction was to say ah-ha and smile. I will work on the Tarzan Yell; this will be much more satisfying.

Friday Night

Fred K, Fred S, Jim S, Rich, Jim H:
Thank you for all the responses to our problem with the 110 Volt Electric Circuit on our 2000 Magna.
After several hours of trying different things my husband found the problem.

Now for me to type up so you understand what happened:
It was the in forward Bay, above the Bay ceiling, a J Box had Wire Nut Connectors. On the black lead, the Wire Nut Connector had melted, an had disconnected the power.
So hubby removed the burned up Wire Connector, cleaned up the Wire Lead, an installed new Wire Nut Connector - an it is good to go.
He found this when tracking things down that the Bay Outlets had no power either - so followed the Circuit and found the J Box with the problem.
My husband would like to say a Thanks - he really appreciated all the help.
Plus I do too - had to put coffee pot on Floor to make coffee morning - couldn't do without my morning pot of coffee.

This group is fantastic!

Take Care Everyone
