I'm posting this here due to the concentration of Pace Arrow owners, in hopes that someone can help with this problem. If it belongs in a different forum, please move it there :)
I have a 2005, 36D. It's been parked in my driveway for about a month, while we've been lining up our next trip. The coach has been plugged into a 15amp circuit to just keep the fridge cold, and run any lights we need should we go out to grab something from the coach.
Last weekend, Lowes delivered a load of patio stone to me, and ran over the extension cord going to the coach with their forklift. I didn't think anything of it when I discovered it, but tonight I went to start loading the coach and my house batteries are dead. Even though I have both replaced and reconnected my extension cord...the coach isn't getting 12V power. There is AC coming in to the coach, because the microwave lights up...and I can turn on the DVD/Stereo system, but my fridge won't stay running. If I start the coach, everything is fine, the fridge comes on, and my house batts get charged, but as soon as I turn the coach off, the batts start draining. I'm surprised that this impacts the fridge running on AC, but it apparently needs DC voltage to accomplish this :)
I believe I've blown a fuse in the inverter/charger, or possibly blown the unit itself. My problem is...I CAN'T FIND IT!!! lol
I've been through every cabinet, I have the manual on it, I've been through every storage compartment... I know the darned thing is right under my nose, but I just can't find it.
Sooooooooooooo...I pulled everything back out of the fridge, and Momma's giving my that look that says "If this doesn't get fixed, I'm not going ANY where..." :)
So if someone can point me to the physical location, I'd be grateful...
Thanks in advance ;)
