Problem with converter fuse panel
I have a barely 2 year old PD4645 converter with the red led indicator lights on the 12v fuse panel that light up when a fuse is blown or pulled from the buss.The problem I have run into is that the i...

Just my $0.02 worth.
My intuition tells me that there is a sensor and/or relay that provides power to the indicator lamps.

Not true. If you don't have a functional fuse in place, and you have no load on the circuit, The circuit is floating, except for the LED and series resistor across the fuse which would charge the floating wire up to 12v.
It would be much like using a multimeter with only one lead connected to the 12v supply. With the other lead floating the multimeter would not read 12v.
I don't see how you can have 12v on the circuit side of the fuse socket when it is shorted to ground.
