Hi everybody.

I appology for my bad english, my primery language is french Québec,Canada).

I have a Damon Daybreak 2004 2960w.

I made some mod's and I had to work around the disconnect switch for the batteries. So, I disconnect all the cable, but I take a picture of the order of the wires to help to but it back a the right place.

After the mod's, I reconnect everything back to there place and.... no 12 volts from the batteries. If I plug the electricity to the wall, everything fine, if I start the rv, everything fine but on the batteries... nothing work.

Some body have a clue for me.

Thanks.

Assuming you put everything back together right my first thought is dead Battery? You need to get a volt ohm meter and check everything out. First check to see if you have 12 volts from the batteries. If no, you found your problem. If yes, use your vom to check +12 at all junction points also check - 12 battery cable to ground.

You may have connected all the batteries together but did you remember to connect the coach feeds to the battery bank? How many batteries do you have and what is the voltage. Can you post pictures of the battery connections that you took.

Hi

I have 2 x 6 volts (golf cart like batteries) in series. The connection is OK.

I had test the batteries cables and there's OK.

I test the batteries with a voltmeter and I have 12 volts OK.

I think the problem is between the batteries and the 12 volts distribution pannel.

Thanks

Check your 12 volt disconnect switch to make sure it is on.

I Found the solution.

After reading the books from Deamon, I realise there another fuse pannel under the hood of the RV.

A 5 amps fuse was dead. So I replace it and magic ... the light was back.

Thanks everybody for the help and have a great labor day week-end.

Does this unit have a Intelletec Battery Control Center up front, this is a black box with 3 heavy cables and several smaller wires.. This is your actual battery disconnect.. If it does contact me (reply to this) and I'll go the next step.
