Yahoo Message Number: 78067
New to full timimg. Coach has been parked for 7 weeks. Went to start batteriy ws low no start. Learned about the echo charger. it has no green light. It appears i need to replace the red line in line fuse. Manual says factory/ service job. Is this just a 20a fuse? Any real issues replace placing this? Thanks

Kelly,

Nope, only problem is finding it (them). They're nicely hidden in a bundle of about 12 wires, unless they've been pulled prior. As I remember, one is a red wire and the other a red and white wire.

They will be inside yellow pull apart fuse holders.

Kelly,

This from Echocharger manual.....

When the input voltage is 13.0/25.5 volts DC or higher, echo-charge automatically switches ON. The LED glows a steady green. When the input voltage is lower than 13.0/25.5 volts, the echo-charge automatically switches OFF, and the LED blinks green. The output voltage of echocharge is limited to 14.4/28.8 volts. When it reaches 14.4/28.8 volts, the charge current will decrease, maintaining a float condition. The starter battery will be fully charged without overcharging.
Sounds like it may be the in-line fuse as you suspect. Also check the connection at the house battery. If your coach has been parked for seven weeks and there has been no shore or generator power applied during that time, your house batteries may be dead. Not sure if there is a minimum voltage needed to turn on echocharger. There are small loads constantly drawing current from the house batteries.
