Power converter alarm when GFCI/Outlets breaker on.
Hello, first time trailer owner, be gentle.
I bought a 2006 Jayco 1006 trailer. "It all works". Sure it does.
It's equipped with an Elixir ELX-30 power converter. When plugged into shore power, I can turn on the mains breaker, as well as the A/C (furnace?) breaker no problem. If I turn on the GFCI/Utility breaker, after about 5 seconds or so I get a constant alarm from the power converter.
When the offending breaker is on, I get 12V interior lighting and power to all of my 120 outlets. The fan in the converter does not turn on. The fan has been pulled and tested direct to 12V and the fan itself works. It just doesn't do anything when connected to the Converter.
All of the fuses installed in the converter are good. The battery is good and fully charged. I've tested both with and without the battery installed. When the battery is removed, thus only working on shore/converter power, my 12v stuff (interior lights, gas leak detector, etc) all turn on when that breaker is up, so it's doing something to make 12V, but it's also alarming the whole time.
Any thoughts?
