Why is my fuse light on?
The cause could be an electrical short. More often, the issue is a blown fuse or tripped circuit caused by excessive electrical current flowing through the wires. The fuse or breaker will automatically cut off the current to prevent the wires from overheating and causing a fire.
Why does my outlet have a red light?
GREEN LIGHT indicates the device has passed the self-test and is providing power. RED LIGHT means the device needs attention. If the GFCI will NOT reset or the solid or blinking red light continues, the device has somehow been compromised and must be replaced. NO LED LIGHT means the device is in the tripped state.
What does the red light on my ground mean?
The small LED status indicator light on a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet gives you a convenient way to check the level of ground fault protection at a glance. A red light means that the GFCI outlet needs attention and that there is a potential problem.
What kind of fuses do I need for reverse battery?
These fuses protect the converter from damage in the event the battery is connected to the RV in reverse. A reverse battery hook-up is the only thing that will blow these fuses. Before replacing a converter suspected of being inoperative always, check these fuses first! These are standard automotive type 30 amp fuses.
Can a 9200 series power converter be shut down?
Yes, the 9200 and 9100 series of converters all incorporate a sophisticated electronic current limiting circuit that automatically shuts the converter down very rapidly in the event of a short or current overload condition, without blowing the fuses.
How does a power converter work on an RV?
The power converter recharges the battery and supplies 12-volt power for the lights and appliances when 120–volt AC power is available. Most RV Manufacturers now specify Electronic Power Converter/Chargers. Why are my batteries are not charging when connected to my Tow Vehicle ?
How can I tell if my power converter is working?
Diana, get a cheap multimeter (Harbor freight 5$) and check the converter output. RVIA says a properly working converter needs to show a minimum .5 volt rise at the converter. Also, check all of your 120 volt circuit breakers (they look kind of like switches), make sure they’re all on.

What should I do if my power converter is not working?
Use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure 110 volts are coursing in the circuit breakers by removing the panel and clamping onto a ground surface. If all is good in the center, you should go to the appliance (s) giving you trouble.
