Measure across battery terminals for acceptable 13+ VDC when converter is powered. You might check to see if you have a manual resettable circuit breaker on a battery wire that connects to the converter.
After posting, I went back out to start testing for correct amperage and voltage. found out the batteries are completely dead. It has been plugged in for two weeks now. with the cover off the fuse panel, I realized the converter wasn't making any noise. If I get real close, I hear a high pitch wine. I'm thinking I have a bad converter. Any thoughts? - CT_WANDERERExplorerIs the AC power to the converter good? A good 110 volts. I know you said you hear a hum from the converter.

I don't have any specifics to offer but
1. is the battery in good shape and charged?
2. are all connections made up on the battery? sometimes more than one wire has to go on a battery terminal. maybe a connector came off?
3. does some other condition have to be met before the jacks will operate? if so you already know what they are, but if a sensor that confirms something isn't working, then the jacks will think it wasn't met
