Electrical panel issue

I have a Altwood panel box. My blue wire from the converter to the dc fuse panel is getting hot and smoking when I hook shore power. Any thoughts?
  • I would suspect your 12 volt battery is hooked up reverse polarity. DISCONNECT the battery cables and then retest. Have you done ANY work on the electrical systems before this happened? Doug
  • Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately because of spammers, new folks can't post pictures. Can you give us any idea what the year and model is of the equip?
  • stop working on this NOW, theres some thing wrong a hot wire can be a fire in the works.seek help.
  • Would you post the model number of the Atwood power panel.
    Do not plug in until resolved.
