Howdy all. I recently replaced my old broken converter with a progressive dynamics 4645. I followed the directions to a T. All worked well for a couple of days. That was 3 1/2 weeks ago. I just got home from work and went to fire everything up. The converter breaker was tripped and continues to trip when reset. No 12v anything working. 120v all fine. any ideas where to start.

Did I mention that company is coming tonight?

Ha.

Thank you,
Jesse

Hi,

Try disconnecting the negative battery cable. Does the breaker still trip?

You have got a short circuit somewhere in the converter circuit. You probably need to pull the converter out and check all of the wiring. In the meantime, get a 50 amp battery charger, put it on the batteries, and plug it into the (working) 120v system. That will get you through the night.
