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...

Maybe I can explain it better.
Case 1 Normal, no load
Fuse: Good
Load: None
Circuit voltage: 12v
Voltage across fuse holder: 0v
Light: Off
Case 2 Normal, load on
Fuse: Good
Circuit voltage: 12v
Voltage across fuse holder: 0v
Light: Off
Case 3 Fuse blown or missing, short circuit
Fuse: not functional
Circuit voltage: 0v
Voltage across fuse holder: 12v
Light: On
Case 4 Fuse blown or missing, no short or load
Fuse: not functional
Circuit voltage: 12v
Voltage across fuse holder: 0v
Light: Off
Case 5 Fuse blown or missing, some load
Fuse: not functional
Circuit voltage: undetermined, depends on load
Voltage across fuse holder: undetermined
Light: Undetermined, on for large load, dim or off for small load
This all assumes LED and series resistor wired in parallel with fuse holder.
Hope this explains how this would work.
