Good report. Your converter is not putting out any "12v" for some reason (reverse polarity fuses blown? You said new battery--chance was there to wire it backwards)
Is the battery wired properly? Red is positive, white is negative. (variations on that but white is always negative on the battery--sometimes you get black positive and white neg, but if it is red and black then red is pos and black is neg)
(Your 12v stuff will still work backwards but fans will go the wrong way around. Lights still light.)
You need to get a charger on the battery right away and not wait to get the converter problem solved. 11.9v is very low
