Found some bare wired under the coach

[2000flair]

Last week i replaced the blown power converter on my 2000 flair.

While doing that, i noticed several cables around and behind the house electrical breakers had been cut. I think they may have been used or intended for stuff like solar panels and such. They are not 110 wires but 12v car type, and color coded.

I capped the ones that were bare and tied them up so they are now secure and neat.

I went under the coach to check for more loose stuff in the same area and I found 3 larger cables just hanging there, also bare. I used my testerand it seems they are live.

I’ve wrapped them with electric tape and secure them so they don't touch anything but I’m wondering what they are for and if I’m missing some component that should be put back.

Please see the pictures and if anyone has an idea of what they are for I’d appreciate your input.

In the same general topic, I have a 30A fuse near be car battery that keeps blowing. Everything seems to be working but I keep replacing it and I wonder what that may be.

Thanks

The 2 bottom ones are ground frame connections. The other may be the same, but does it have 12 volts positive on it? Doug

Thanks for the info, I imagine they should connect somewhere. Any ideas?

BTW, I am not sure about the positive, when I tested them with the multimeter, it read 36. I will test again this weekend and mark them all accordingly.

The reason I stated the bottom 2 were ground was because of the wires that were crimped by a screw. The metal tab the wires were installed in has a hole where a bolt was used to bolt to the metal chassis frame right above it. The OTHER wire has a crimp on ring tail and was also probably connected by the same bolt since there is no extra slack. Very possible that the wires were never mounted to the frame from original build. Doug

Made the link a clicky.

Sorry, I'm still new to the forum and I thought putting the url on the image icon was sufficient.
