(174.45.38.44) | On the road and find the fridge, original norcold electric, isn’t running on 12 volt DC. It does however work fine on 120 volt AC. Ready to check the books and realize I am toting my transit manuals not my coach manuals. Now that I’m posting my problem I remember Kijetl has them on his website. Time to trace out the 12volt supply.

(174.45.38.44) | That didn’t go well. Group 37 says go to group 39 and group 39 says go to group 37. It shows in the 120 volt diagram but not the 12 volt. Hmm.

(174.45.38.44) | Thanks Stephen for the picture album of your 12v fridge supply problem. Happened to remember you went through this too. The fuse holder at the batterys looks melted and is a mass of electrical tape. Bet it is my problem. Will update when I get it apart.

(174.45.38.44) | Yes and thanks, I found the problem. A new fuse holder and connection to battery should fix it. I bypassed it and it powered up.

Last resort you could fire up the genny and run with 120 to keep the fridge going I suppose.
Is the genset working?

(204.10.247.1) | I had the same problem with mine in the beginning, found the 12v fuse itself wasn't conducting through it, and it wasn't blown, replaced the fuse and been in business ever since.

(174.45.38.44) | My fuse looks good too but no power passing through. Glass fuses can get hot and melt the solder between the fuse element and the end cap. Looks good but not so. I will Replace the holder as it was taped together. I will use an ATO plastic two flat blade contact fuse as a replacement because this can’t happen with them.
