BrocNeal, well your replacement battery charger PC board is on the way to you. Sure hope this fixes the no charging problem. If not the only other thing that I can think of is a failure of the S.C.R. as shown on pages 3, 17 & 20 of the Service Manual. I can believe that this component may have been destroyed if as you said the former owner of your rig connected up the house battery(s) reversed polarity. The SCR is mounted in a heat sink as shown on page 17 in the transformer module. Leads to it would have to be unsoldered and then the part would then have to be unbolted to remove it. Then hopefully the SCR has brand and P/N on it in order to purchase a replacement.
That's what I'm hoping, I don't know if it'd fix the no lights when hooked up to shore power but I hope so. I know I called progressive dynamics and that was what the guy said he would think the problem would be after I told him my issues, so let's hope for the best!
Now what exactly is the SCR and what does it do? It sounds complicated but the motorhome is from 1979 so I wouldn't think it would be too crazy!
