No Power

[srrobertson8]

Hello, I recently ran into a problem with my 98 monaco signature series, me and my wife were running the generator when the water pump turned on and now I have no power to my lights, heater fans, A/C. Im confused because the outlets all work along with fridge. I was thinking it was the battery connect switch because when I flip that nothing happens. If anyone has had this problem before or advice on how to fix it that would be greatly appreciated.

All those items listed are either 12volt or are controlled by 12 volts so it appears that you have lost part of or all your 12 volt supply. Is there anything else in the Sig that is 12v and working. If not then you are going to have to figure out if you have bad house batteries, bad battery cable connections or a fuse or even a bad salesman switch circuit. My first guess it all the cases is a dirty, corroded or loose positive or negative battery cable. Do you have a voltmeter or a 12v test light? If so see if you have 12 volts on both large terminals on your battey disconnect switch. If no then either your batteries are dead or bad or a dirty loose battery cable. This bad cable will also prevent your batteries from charging. You cannot just look at them and tell you have to take them off and wire brush them clean. Come back and tell us what you found out and we can go from there

Thank You sir for your advice I will get a voltage tester as soon as i get to my destination in Snyder, Texas. Unfortunately I'm on the road and dont have the proper equipment. We recently got this MH and already spent $4000 dollars to get the generator and the aqua hot running so I'm hoping that this will be any easy/cheap fix. Thank you again.
