Connecting Battery Kills 12v System
Maybe this has been answered already, if so maybe someone can point me to the post. We're on a 3 week cross country trip with the kids in a 31' Jayco travel trailer. Had our battery system give us...

Made some progress this morning. Looks like my understanding of which leads from camper to battery are mixed up and I probably connected them wrong.
I traced the leads from converter to battery and found I had both positive and negative lead connected to NEG battery terminal (honestly don't know how I did that). 12v system is working fine now that I have white to NEG and black (which has a yellow pigtail with 35amp fuse) to POS.
New question: the second set of leads to battery...I'm assuming they are for the brakes, running/tail lights? They are both black and one is fused. Any idea how to connect these? I don't want to experiment for fear of really messing something up.
