Ok. Next problem.

The latest problem with my 2500 LP generator is it fails to turn on the juice.

I have it running like a top overall. It starts right up and runs smoothly. Has been wonderful with frequent air filter changes. Until...

It stopped producing power.

It doesn't turn on the electricity after that little startup delay. No power coming out of it.

What's the first few easy things to check?

If you are safe working around 120 VAC, start at the ATS and see if you are getting power from the generator there (yes, assuming you have an ATS vs manual "plug to play").

If not, check at the generator to house wiring box.

If not, check at the generator breakers.



Ok,. Thanks.

I should have posted what I have done.

I checked the breaker in the generator and the DC fuse In the same spot.

I opened up the ATS and tested for incoming power while the generator was running and I wasn't connected to shore power. Nothing.

I'll have to locate the junction box wiring generator to house circuit. It appears to be inside the generator compartment on my Arctic Fox truck camper.

Well, breaker sounds like it's working. It turns on and off and feels and sounds right. The DC fuse is fine too.

That's as far as I got.
