Re: How to replace tv antenna cable

I’d still wrap electrical tape from old to new since those ends can be pulled off with enough force. Thats a great idea, never thought of that. Hopefully i can get to it soon.

It won't hurt to check the fuse panel for blown fuses, but generally the light by the back door is not on its own fuse, so the likely culprit is a broken wire. The solution is to run a new wire. One thing you absolutely do NOT want to do is just "grab power from anywhere." Certain things are on certain circuits to keep from overloading the wire used. You need to trace the wire back to where it started and connect there. Unfortunately that is easier said than done in a camper, because the wires are generally concealed and you would have to tear the camper apart to access them. If you can get the wiring diagram, that will tell you where the wires start and end. A hack way to deal with running new wires without gutting the camper is to just run wires using the "shortest distance from point A to point B is a straight line" method. But there are also ways to conceal the wires without having to gut the camper too if you're creative and careful. The radio works now because a ran a good known source of 12v power. Weeks later the light stopped working, checked the power before it goes into the light fixture and its not getting power? Kevin523Views0likes0CommentsRe: 12v issue

I forgot to put that in the post, yes I've checked all the fuses, breakers. Called Northwoods for a schematic of the electrical system, I'll see if my simple mind can figure it out.

I have a 2004 arctic fox 990 camper, the radio stopped working and figured out it wasn't getting power so i found a 12v source and it works. Now the florescent light by the back door doesn't work, its not getting power to the fixture, i'm not very smart with electrical stuff so any suggestions on where to look or what to do keep in mind i'm not the brightest with this kind of stuff. All other 12v things work fine. Kevin1.7KViews0likes11CommentsRe: water heater trouble
Got the check valve (g-784)and its fixed, thanks for your help. The guys at Dinosaur Electronics, Chris and Dave at Northdwoods Mfg. are super people, they don't ask why you called they are there to help. Chris especially was unbelievable, he was on the phone with me for 30 min. tracking down my original issue, no power to the circuit board, and then helping me with why i wasn't getting hot water at the faucet. Talk about patience, the best. Kevin292Views0likes0Comments
