Thermostat Blowing 2 Amp Fuse
I have a 2000 Wilderness which I acquired a year or two ago, it has been taken excellent care of. I keep the trailer at my lease and leave it plugged in however the only thing drawing power is the light on the microwave. Last weekend while there I went to turn the fan on and nothing happened, no fan or humming as if the fan was bound up. Looked at the thermostat and the 2 amp fuse was blown. This is one of the small 3/4" glass fuse that came with the Coleman Mach analog (thermostat original equipment). I plugged in a 110 volt fan and ran it that night it worked fine along with the other 110 circuits and 12 volt lights. The next day I crawled up on top and checked the fan motor, it was not bound up, so I also confirmed the heater motor was free. I went into town and purchased 2 fuses, at the automotive store. Since they did not have any 2 amp I bought 3 amp fuses. When I got home I replaced the fuse and it blew. Before I left I tried the last one. This time I took note of all the switch positions. The heat/cool/fan switch was in the off position, the fan switch was in the high position but set to about 85 degrees. I still had the electric fan running on the 11o circuit. I went to install the fuse it immediately blew and the electric fan seemed to go to slow down. I did check the voltage on the 110 later but by then it was back up to 110. I am thinking I have a short some where but I am concerned about pulling the wires through the wall and ceiling to the AC. ANY IDEAS?8.7KViews0likes4Comments
