Electrical Problem

Yahoo Message Number: 106936
I am an admitted electrical technopeasant! Woke up this morning to virtually no power in the coach. Refer, microwave, and lights in the mid-coach sink and vanity area all seem to work fine. No power elsewhere, i.e. 110 plugs, all lights, system gauge (total coach systems) area, slides and all interior lights (except the one over the sink in the bath area). Checked the fuses in the boxes under the driver's area and all look OK. Not sure where to go next. Not sure where a main breaker panel is, but haven't thoroughly looked yet.

Any help/ideas appreciated!

Find and reset your 110V GFI outlet. Then, try to determine if it was an overload or actually a ground fault.

Dave,

The main breaker panel is in your hallway, to rear of galley. There are two 110 volt circuit breaker boxes at top. Remove the plastic cover on the lower one. To the far right, there are 3 GFI circuit breakers. Reset those. One is power to Bay outlets, one to D/S outlets and one to P/S outlets. You may need to replace one that won't reset. I did after a bout with bad campground power. You can buy them at Lowes or Home Depot. Take your old one with you to get the right one. Siemens makes them, about $50.

The 12 volt fuses for the house are the two black boxes in same cabinet, below 110 volt circuit breakers. The fuses under driver service bay are the chassis and ignition fuses. I doubt it is them.

Hi;

Problem solved! Pretty darn simple....either the dog or the spouse hit the battery disconnect switch. Even a technopeasant was able to track that one down (after a good breakfast and some thought). Duh....

Our battery switch is right by the entry door and we were always pressing it by mistake or the service tech would turn off the switch when they were working on the coach and not turn it back on. Lonny made a brace so it can't be depressed unless you remove the "brace".

It's a plastic clip screwed under the switch.
