Did you take a picture of the connections before you dis-assembled the battery wiring?

If using 12 volt batteries - check that batteries are wired in parallel - + to +, - to -, and that you have the + cable for the coach (usually red) connected to +. - can go to either batteries -.

If using 6 volt batteries - they wire in series, + to -, + to -. + cable from coach goes to + on the first battery, - cable goes to - terminal on 2nd battery.

Finally, make sure your “Salesman Switch” or “Use/Store” switch is in the “Use” mode.

And check it you tripped a DC relay on Battery POS Cable

There should be a circuit breaker within a foot or 2 of the battery positive cable.

Many have a button that trips them and a lever to re-set, check for that.

picture taken, + to + - to - breaker checked and re checked, Sailsman switches are Green (on) ?


Is relay same as the little breaker switch? if not where might I find It?

[hoggem]

problem solved once I realized that you not only have to TAKE pictures, you also need to look at them ;-) one cable misplaced.



thanks All

If you wired it correctly, did you turn the battery switch back on, and reset the 100a+ Breaker? Or drop a wire behind battery, not connected?
