Robert. Sorry for the confusion. Are you saying at the connector on the front of the Jeep I should be getting power readings with a multimeter? I picked one up today at Walmart, first time ever using one. I messed around with it a bit to get a feel for it. Tested the Jeep battery, with the Jeep off and got readings of 12.6, running 13.8 or so. I then tested the receptacle on the front of the Jeep, with it off and then running. Nothing. I also don't see a fuse anywhere in the engine compartment that's been added on. I haven't checked the MH yet, its in a storage facility a few miles away. Probably Sunday as tomorrow we're gonna get rain from a tropical storm moving up through the Gulf.
Thanks,
Bob
Yes, you should have voltage at the connector on the front of the Jeep. If not, likely a bad fuse between the connector and the battery.
That said, I didn't have a charge wire on mine. I had to add one to the center conductor (Pin 2). Very easy to do. I did take a little time to use split loom, and route the wire with existing cables. All looks stock.
Slide the boot off the back of the connector on the Jeep, this is what it looks like:
Look at the pins on the back of that connector. Look at the CENTER pin, it sticks out a little further than the rest:
If there's no wire, that's the problem. You need to add a wire from here, to the Jeep battery. Be sure to put a fuse near the battery.
Here's a video showing both sides of the connector. This is also where I captured the images above:
