Some have manual reset breakers located elsewhere
Some have auto-reset breakers
But if your WFCO is properly connected...Then it is in PARALLEL with the batteries so if the lights work on shore power, they MUST work on battery power
Tribble slaying:
Get a test light (Auto parts store/department, looks like an ice pick with a wire coming out of a translucent/clear plastic handle with a light bulb
Start at the batteries..Clip to NEgative tip to positive, Bright light = GOOD (Dim or dark = bad)
Move clip to frame (non-painted part) same test
Move out along the POSITIVE WIRE
heck the terminal, Check the wire (Point can penetrate insulation) Check the lug at the other end, whatever device that is connected to check the other side.
ONE caution, Any time you move the ground clip check a KNOWN good test point to insure good ground
When the light no longer lights.. Look between LIGHT and DARK for the problem.
I have found
Blown fuses
bad connectors
Dirty connectors
Bad wires (two different wires in two different systems)
