No 12 volt in coach

[kenodom1]

Installed new house batteries nothing 12 volt works unless plugged into shore power. No click when I flip the store/use switch cant find solenoid

What year and model coach?

There is a breaker next to the battery at the back side, use a flashlight, see if it's tripped. At least on mine there is one hiding behind the battery and for the battery. Mine is also very hard to get too as I got these big oh batteries in the way :0

More than likely the problem is what YosmiteBob mentioned, the breaker behind the batteries.

The reason why I asked the model coach is even though we all have the same general breaker it can be mounted in different locations and sometimes is difficult to see.

Some folks have reported that the batteries tend to slide within the battery box causing the breaker to trip and have described using some type of spacer between the battery and the battery box to keep the problem from happening again.

Dang good idea, I'll get right on that, seriously.

I will look for a breaker in the battery box when i get home this afternoon and let you know if that was it.

Here is a link to a couple of pics that show how it looks; tripped and reset. It is not your std. circuit breaker

It is a 150 amp breaker not just a small one at that.

[Yosemitebob]

In comparisson to my solar panel it is small as that is 300 amp breaker.

Not exactly sure how I did it but all is working, I must have connected the batteries wrong when I installed the new ones,, started over and blew some fuses but I am back in business. Thanks for all the ideas I know much more about my 12 volt wiring than I did 2 weeks ago.

Here are the typical house battery configurations as extracted from the Harris Battery Maintenance Guide available on their website.

Rookie question here,

Does the 12V system switch need to be in USE position to charge the house batteries when on shore power?

Doc

[kenodom1]

Yes it does.

Thanks,

Just ran shore power to the Vegas last month and with all the fun I have had with House Batteries (replaced Harris Batteries) I want to be sure that I do all the maintanence, water levels and other things correctly.

Seems like the guys like to hide these 12volt reset buttons... After looking at 5 or 6 videos and many more posts, I spent hours looking, and wah-la... I found it... Nowhere anyone mentioned... Under the drawer, under the stove... )2014 Thor Freedom Elite 22E)...
