No DC
Positive exiting inverter was loose but at first I wasn't concerned but loose wire kept coming up in responses here so I finally really tighten clamp on wire & much to my surprise I had 12 volt power ...
Forum Discussion
In another forum is a link to an artile (you tube video I think) on how to use a VOM (Volt Ohm Meter or multi-meter)
The test for a bad converter
Cheap test. Turn on 12 volt lights. disconnect battery negative lead. Do lights remain on?????
Advanced test.
Measure battery voltage (static no lights, not plugged in) take note
Measure battery voltage after pluggin in Take note
Measure voltage at converter output terminals,, take note
Measure voltage at converter output with battery disconncted take note
IF YOU HAVE a meter such as a clamp on DC ammeter (I DO) measure amps in battery cable, take note
Post notes and we will advise.
