Is the fuse holder similar to this. Check for the proper fit. This is just an example I grabbed.
It is similar yes, thats the "cap" part the inside part is what I believe is busted or at leas tthe holding part of the inside part is broken, it has two little "clamps" that hold it shut and they don't appear to work.
I'm not imagining replacing things with the same parts this is after all a 1979 model so I doubt I will get it to be the same. I'd be satisfied with something to get it working period.
I know the "fuses" are definatly for the battery portion since there are breakers on my panel as well for the eletrical portion, pretty sure they are used for the inverter, it's nice to have that portion but I would love to get it all working as much as I can. We've been slowly working on doing inexpensive "renos" to it by painting it, slowly working on adding curtains instead of the ugly blinds, I know when I am running on the generator (I share with my neighbor) that all my plugs and my "big" light works well. My 12 volt system is what appears to be broken, if its a one long wire circuit, the first 2 are working and everything after is not.
I have tested it with a volt meter and get a 0 reading, so I am guessing that it may have wire damage in it. (this trailer had some littlee visitors in the past so possiblu they snacked on the wires...) I don't mind running a new wire "outside" the wall since only adults use it and I'm pretty sure I could conceal most of the wire behind things and buying the wire hidding stuff so I think that would work to regain my lights, this isn't rocket science eletrical work so I think I could pull it off.
Thoughts?
