I think I shorted out my new inverte

Ok I got my new 12np20 and hooked it up and it worked good then I was montane it and I did not disconnect the battery cable from the battery and it touched the inverter and now it will not go into the inverter mode is there a breaker some place or did I mess up big time
  • Do you have voltage in? If not follow wires to battery and someplace between inverter and battery should be a fuse/breaker
  • Yes it will go in float mode but it will not charge the battery and when I un plug the shore power there is nothing on the panel if some body could give me an idea where there is a fuse or breaker
  • then you are not getting 12 volts in. Double check 12 volt to ground I don't think you have it.
  • I just checked I have now power at the converter but power at the battery so can any body tell me where the fuse is at
  • I'm no help on this issue but for those of you who can help, be sure to read campingman55's most recent posts in his other recent threads because they might give you more information.
  • You have to follow the big wires from point A to point B and see what is between them. You may have a fuse, breaker or disconnect someplace. You are just going to have to follow them and look for something that is not a wire.
  • There should be a very large fuse around 300 amp in the wiring between the battery and the inverter that could be blown; kdk
