Check the 12V to the inverter and if it is OK (big fat 8 or 10 gauge wire), the the inverter is probably at fault. 12V is used for the control circuitry inside the inverter and is responsible for connecting either source of power Shore or inverted.
I am getting DC power to the inverter and AC power at the breaker inside. doesn't the inverter invert the DC to AC and then to the breaker? If it were the inverter, I shouldn't have AC power at the breaker? Is there any other way to test the inverter? I am not getting any inverter error messages while the inverter is on and I still get power to the breaker in pass through mode (inverter off).
