Battery charge indicator

I have one of the little plug in battery meters from camp-inn which I got at the end of camping season last year so did not use it. I plugged it in and get nothing. Thought I maybe needed to unplug from AC did so still nothing but I tried the lights while unplugged from AC and they work. Do I have a dud or is there another step I missed?
 
You might have a dud Pat. It should work by just plugging it into the 12 volt socket.
 
Pat,

Try plugging it into a different 12v socket just to verify it isn't the socket you plugged into. Perhaps you blew a fuse on that outlet or something.

Cary, you are right popped right on in the cabin at 132V.
So when I get to the fuse box under the counter on the right side (per manuel) will the fuse say what size it is? And then I just pull it and get a new one - right?
 
there are 2 15's blue and 3 10's red how do I know which one and I tried lightly tugging on one and it seemed quite tight so can I damage anything trying to pull out?

Hi Pat,

I'm sure Cary will be to the rescue soon, but for now... look at the top of the fuse, the metal filament running through the plastic should be intact. If it's broken, melted or burnt looking you will need to replace it. There are only 10 & 15 amp fuses in the trailer, you can buy them anywhere they sell auto parts. It's a good idea to have spares of each onboard. Look for a pack that has a little plastic fuse puller with it, usually yellow. That should make it a little easier replacing the fuse(s), they are snug by design but a good tug will get them out and you won't damage anything.

thank AJ I will feel a little better tugging at them now. I am used to the little silver capped ones but these are different.
 
Having recently gone through this drill, the back of the little red manual you should have is a schematic of your trailer’s wiring. It should provide you with some clues as to what is on what fuse. The diagram is actually pretty easy to follow so don’t be intimidated by it. Fwiw, your trailer may not be wired exactly as it is shown in the diagram but it is a good starting point. I would not pull anything until you got a fuse puller thingy. They make things a lot easier.
 
Pat,

The little fuse access cover you removed to access the fuses has a fuse diagram on the back of it.

Pulling them out can be tough, might have to use a little needle nose pliers or something.

Cary
 
Well I found the diagram in the manuel and also as Cary said there is a list on the back of the cover which I had swung down but not looked on the back. and a needle nose plyers did the trick. So tomorrow a new fuse and I will be set. So learned something new today.
 
Thanks everyone: I now have a new fuse in and everything works. I also have spares in the tool box with the needle nose plyers. It was pretty simple but daunting if you don't know what you are doing.
 
Thank you for this thread. I have been meaning to pull together a little kit for things like this, and you got me on it. Glad it all worked out well!
