Burning smell from electrical panel
So here is the skinny;
Travel trailer is hooked up to shore power. Battery disconnected. The furnace and television were on one day when I noticed an electrical smell from the panel. Noticed it’s from the 12v fuse board. The negative lead is warm to the touch, soldering points for negative are blackened. Negative screw terminal has some wiggle to it.
I’ve noticed that the lights have been intermittently dim with a light flicker from time to time. This is accompanied by a light “whine” from the 12v fuse board. Once I turn on an additional switch, the trouble goes away. My furnace fan has given me trouble in the past year. It’s a little louder and blows with less force.
Where should I start?
