Re: Light Problem
I am back in business. Thank you all. Enblethem-thank you! So I started with the 15 amp since you said that it would be a 15 or 20. Got it on the first try. When I plugged back in again though the GFCI tripped again. Reset it and everything works. Can someone explain to me so that I understand-if I overloaded the AC side, why did a DC fuse blow? Also, why GFCI tripped again. There wasn't anything plugged in except the refrigerator on auto. Starting to label.501Views0likes0CommentsRe: Light Problem
House lights are fluorescent ceiling, and bulbs in movable spot lighting. Bathroom and kitchen also bulbs. The TV works, all plugs work so charging computer plugged in. Yes the engine starts, battery is not that old. Will get back to everyone tomorrow when I change out some fuses. I just did not want to do something to make things worse so asked for advice first. I am learning. Thank you502Views0likes0CommentsRe: Light Problem
Thank you- I followed your instructions and everything remains the same-no lights. So does that mean that it is a fuse? I looked at all of the fuses and none seems to be bad except the 3 amp which seems elongated but not broken. Could all of the lights be on a 3 amp fuse? I have a multi meter at home, but did not bring. I don't know how to use it yet, but I will have to learn. Electricity scares me a little. Nothing wrong with healthy respect.501Views0likes0CommentsRe: Light Problem

OK thank you. Here is what I found so far. Furnace works and blower works plugged in. I don't want to start the generator as I am in a campground. Refrigerator works and board works. On auto it switched to gas when I unplugged. All there looks normal plugged in or not. Water pump works unplugged. Test panel shows full battery charge when unplugged. These are new batteries and a new converter box. The only thing that doesn't work are the lights. Does this help?113Views0likes0Comments
