When power is turned on, the converter fan comes on, and then shuts off after a couple seconds. Batteries are dead.
Year/Make/Model of RV is good to know.Hello, it used to run correctly when the batteries needed charging. One day I checked the rv and the batteries were dead. It is plugged into shore power. I had a tech come out and he said it was the latching relay. I installed a new one but the problem persist.
Yes, the batteries died while being connected to shore. It's a 2018 Thor Freedom elite 28fe.Did the batteries die while it was plugged in to shore power?

Your "on off" switch is probably called a Master Power switch and does the exact same thing as the USE/STORE switch - it controls the latching relay to connect and disconnect the house battery bank from the house DC buss and converter/charger. There is no "automatic" charging. The light next to the switch does not show the position of the latching relay, it simply lights when the house DC buss has 12 VDC to it, which will always be the case when plugged into SP. So unless to turn the Master Power switch ON when plugged into SP the house batteries will NOT charge.I just have an on off switch. When connected to shore it automatically suppost to charge the batteries.

Make sure you have 110 going into your converter and 13.6 volts dc coming out. There are two 40-amp automotive fuses On the converter make sure they are good. Make sure your battery use switch is on. You should have 13.6 volts at the batteries if all is working. Like someone else said a completely dead battery may not come back. I had the same problem, my converter was bad.When power is turned on, the converter fan comes on, and then shuts off after a couple seconds. Batteries are dead.
