Angry 12 v issue Brook Side 2006

Hi, I’ve a 2006 Brook Side 5th.
12 v systems works when on shore power. Not work when disconnected to shore.
Batteries v 25.9. In series. So charged. Converter then seems to work.

Main panel breakers turned on-off several times.

LOW POWER PANEL, bayonet fuses resist removal. There is a ¨Plunger¨ type device on the outside of the panel box. It resists moving. It is part of a rectangular segment inside.
I could use W40D to spray all fuses and the plunger.

While I can't help you with your issue, I would not suggest spraying fuses with WD40, I don't know if it's conductive, but I doubt it would help. Your fuse panel is designed to keep the fuses in place, so, it's not surprising they are hard to remove. I usually use a needle nose pliers to pull them. Sounds like power is not getting from battery bank to fuse block. Have you looked at your battery isolator/disconnect solenoid yet? Grab a meter and check both sides of the disconnect solenoid, should have full battery power on both sides.

Ok , I'm confused by this statement .
Batteries v 25.9. in series .

Do you have 2 six volt batteries in series ; that only showed 5.9 volts when tested ?

Batteries hooked in series 6volt or 12 volt? If with 12 volt batteries hook them in parallel.

Connect batteries in parallel so that you have 12 volts and then find the fuse or breaker near the battery that hopefully blew.

Things working on shore power means the converter is working, that's good, but don't send 24 volts to it.

12 v issue 2006 brook Side

Thanks to all.
Problem solved. Weak cells in both deep cycle batteries- But was able to charge them using a charger plus shore-converter power. Will replace them upon arrival home in at week.
Batteries are in parallel.
