HELP with power dist center WF 8914

[2006_SMOKEY]

I have read all the past issues with converters and such but my situation is different. I pulled my converter and tested, got 13.61VDC
I went to the battery wires and showed no volts. I checked for an inline fuse but found none. I checked the fuses in the distribution panel and all were good. I followed the red wire form the converter into the distribution panel wf 8914 but do not see where the wire comes out that goes to the battery. I searched for wiring diagram but came up MT. Any assistance will be appreciated.

I'm betting on a circuit breaker out on the trailer tongue. But just to be sure have you checked the two green 40 amp reverse polarity fuses on the fuse panel? There are holes on the back of the fuses that allow you to take a voltage reading without pulling the fuse out of the block. Check both holes on the fuses to a good ground and make sure you get 13v.

Also if you pull the cover you should see the POS and NEG terminals that feed the fuse panel. This is where the wire from the battery is connected. Linked below is a basic manual that shows where the wires are that go to the battery (page 5).

On some trailers, that resetting breaker is located under the trailer, fastened to the frame, near where the positive battery lead enters the trailer. Some trailers (with multiple slides) have more than one.

They come in various (20,30,40,etc) amperages, and are available at most auto parts stores. Some are auto reset, some have a push botton for resetting. They run 7 - 10.00 in price.

Sometimes, disconnecting and re-connecting the battery and shore power will reset an auto reset breaker.

If you need to change one, disconnect battery and shore power while making the change.

Sometimes if we cannot find where a line is open, we just pull a new wire.

There is a auto resetting breaker located on the tongue, near the battery..

Should look like the pix below..


The breaker may have gone bad, one of the wires may have broken off the one of the terminals..

Look under the tongue for a small junction box. Could have a circuit breaker there.
If no box, check at the end of the umbilical cord where it joins with the rig's wiring system
