The Converter did not go bad because of the Living room light short. The Living room light circuit is protected by that fuse you pull. DO YOU HAVE ANY FUSES BLOWN/BAD? To answer your question. The way you trace down a short for one circuit, you disconnect EACH appliance/light on that fused circuit. Then see if the short goes away. That determines if you have a appliance short or a short in the wiring(mice possible). Now, if you have a light ON(or any appliance in that circuit ON) and you attempt to get continuity and GET continuity. That just means the circuit is complete, NOT that you have a short. When you state LEADS OFF. Are you talking about the Pos and NEG leads that connect to the Power Converter? Doug
My guess on the converter going bad is someone yanked the breakaway cable and brakes were activated for months. Not sure if that constant drain would cause that? But replaced the breakaway switch and pulled the living room lighting fuse, replaced converter and all has been good for a month now. Always plugged into shore power.
I had no blown or bad fuses anywhere.
Ya Im talking about the leads between the converter and the fuse box, when disconnected from the converter, have continuity until I pull the Living room fuse. No power to the RV and battery disconnected during that continuity test.
Sounds like I should disconnect all the lights on that circuit next and test again. Thanks for the help. Ill test by removing the leads at the converter so nothing on the circuit can possibly be ON, completing the circuit.
