Ok, what does this tell you....I removed the fuse for the propane detector and it's still beeping.

I've tested it when it's beeping and when it hasn't and and every time it's the same result: 13.7 or so. Today it's beeped a lot less. Only a few times since sundown rather than regularly.

So that was the wrong fuse. Had to be. Anyway, whatever is going on there, if the wiring is mixed up somewhere, you might have problems with the new detector too.

The advice to replace the detector every five years is correct I suppose. Like the fire alarm perhaps, where the sensor gets dulled after a time.

I didn't know about the five year rule until recently, and just went by the flashing green light telling me it is ok. It is from 2002. A couple months ago I was equalizing and lots of battery fumes happening and the LP alarm sounded off, indicating nasty fumes. So it did that, but that was not LP fumes, it was battery fumes.

I put a brand new one in the truck camper we got and it went off with battery fumes too. (Battery box is inside--old camper didn't have any LP alarm) So I swapped to AGM battery. Also added a CO detector since it is a camper on a truck that has an exhaust. The trailer has no engine. Been told on here in a thread about that, the latest thing is to put a CO detector in the trailer anyway.

Then we got into here, where it goes because the CO detector also acts as the LP detector with some models. LP detector is supposed to be floor level for heavy propane but the CO detector should be higher up to be in the lighter CO. No problem, I have the LP one at floor level and the CO one on a wall half way up. Then there is the fire alarm on the ceiling. :)

BTW I think you can get AA/AAA battery powered alarms, so if you can't resolve the mystery wiring for that one, you could use that kind instead. But then you have to remember to keep changing the little batteries.
