Installed new Norcold board and fridge still won't work

[1kennyOG]

Board was fried on the N611/N811 SO I installed a new one. Cost me around $300 CAD.

Now the fridge is blinking both lights faintly. Certainly not as bright as before.

I do not hear the propane trying to light.

Fridge does not work on gas or electric.

Any advice is appreciated.

2006 Kodiak Hybrid.

thanks

Are suggesting the new board he bought is faulty too?

good info-
I turned the job over to my friend who is a licensed electrician.

I know this is an old thread, but here is my experience. My TT had a bad outlet that the fridge was plugged into. Not bad as in not working, just dampness would get into it in heavy rains (not obvious water) and trip the GFCI. The fridge is somehow wired through the GFCI which is located in the bathroom (not a real obvious link), so even on 12V only (we only boondock), the fridge wouldn't light with the GFCI tripped. Replaced the fridge outlet and all is fine. Also replaced the GFCI with one that has a green led when good and switches to a red led when tripped. Also wrote on the fridge outlet as a reminder that it was connected to the GFCI. This was the second TT I've had with a fridge not working due to a GFCI being tripped. Slow learner I guess 🙂

And when you went thru the troubleshooting flow chart posted by OB where did you end up?

Bad or no ground wire to circuit board.

would there still be low voltage when plugged into 30amps?

Could be. Really need to trace with a meter.

X2... you need to understand what voltages are present at the control board... along with checking its grounding.

I did

Yep, tried the drive too 🙂

sounds crazy, but take it for a drive , I had to do that in order to free up a line.
