THOR #29273
Store / Use Switch

Hey all…thanks for any input you can give. I have searched the forums and have made some progress reference not having any power from the house batteries. I have located the relay latching switch and checked all fuses that I can find.

House batteries are pushing out power but the store / use button is not working. If I’m hooked up to Shore Power I can jump the latching relay and the store/use button will open and close the latching relay.

I can’t find any sort of breaker that is popped and all fuses are fine. The house batteries don’t seem to be charging from shore power but I’m still trying to confirm that.

I’ve attached a photo of the latching relay. Much appreciate your insight.

All MHs should have a 50 amp CB in the battery compartment in the 6 gauge cable going to the use/store latching relay (chassis battery isolation relay).

I have looked and can’t seem to find it. I’ve uploaded a couple photos of the battery compartment. I also don’t see it near the switch under the fridge.

I found the breaker!! Didn’t realize that’s what it was. Other than not knowing why it tripped, everything seems to be working. It was located right next to the relay switch.

Glad you found it and discovered that it had tripped causing your issue. Thanks for updating everyone that you located it.

Photo is of the breaker that tripped. I didn’t realize it was a breaker. Live and learn!
