Hi-- I have a Winnebago 2003 Journey DL. The glue holding the hinges on the generator access door failed. So, while trying to reattach the hinges last week, I think I knocked some [COLOR=#0072BC ! important][COLOR=#0072BC ! important]wiring[/COLOR][/COLOR] loose on my genset. The generator is an Onan 7500 Quiet Diesel Generator. I have the Powerline power management system and normally, when I start the generator, the lights go on on the powerline panel and it tells me how many amps I am using. However, now the powerline system panel does not light up or read any information and things like my hair dryer and stuff will not work. the generator fires right up, just does not supply the house. Anyone have any idea of what I knocked loose? I looked around and nothing was obvious to me. Your help is appreciated. thank you.

My generators have all had circuit breakers on them. None were glaringly apparent. In fact, they were always somewhat obscure. Perhaps you inadvertantly manually tripped a breaker or breakers. Have a careful look around on your generator.

It sounds like you bumped the circuit breaker on the front of the generator and set it to the off position. It's next to the start/stop switch and the LED read-out.
