No power except microwave when plugged into shore power.

In trouble shooting we found battery disconnect switch blowing one of two 5 amp fuse on 12 amp system relay? Any help is greatly appreciated!
  • We have no power to lights, refrigerator etc...when running on 12 volt system. Some outlets seem to be working.
  • I don't see it as a transfer switch problem. I see it as the entire 12v system being unavailable. You're not getting power from either the converter or the batteries. The batts do not rely on a transfer switch, which is for the 120v side of things.

    To be more clear, do you get 12v power when NOT plugged in to shore power?
  • This is a horse trailer with living quarters that runs on a 30 amp system. Only 1 air-conditioner. We have 2 12 volt batteries for system off shore power. Hope this helps.

    That'd be a Transfer Switch issue if you have one of those. Do you?

    Do you have a 30A coach or a 50A?

    And, do you have some kind of "load shedding" device? Some coaches with two A/C units have a device (or even simply a Switch) to allow only one A/C to run at a time.

    Check all your 120 VAC breakers.
