Troubleshooting Furrion AC/ DC Panel Fuse Issue

Question:

I recently purchased this Distrubution Panel from you and am now having a problem.... On the 12 Volt side of the panel, the top 3 fuses are not working properly when they had worked before. No power currently at any of those three. When I remove the fuse from the block the red light does NOT come on like it does on the remaining panel. With the fuse removed, when I touch with my meter the right side of the fuse block and ground it, the light now comes on. Any idea why I dont have power? Thanks.

It sounds like you are using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on your Furrion AC/DC Distribution Panel - Wall Mount # FDP12WABL which is good on the 12v DC side. It shows that you are getting power to that circuit at that location which leads me to believe the panel is not the issue but the fuse may be even if it doesn't appear blown. When you have power on one side, if it isn't transferring to the other side then the "bridge" is broken. You can check with the fuse installed if you get power on one side but not the other, then this is definitely the issue.

The true test of if the converter is failing is to use a multi-meter like # PT89ZR to make sure you are getting the 12V at that location. If you aren't getting the correct power then the functions on the other side won't work properly.
