    12volt trouble

    Our Bighorn “had” (I removed it) an auto reset mini breaker in line before the buss bar with the other mini breakers. It failed once and shut down all 12v to the rig. Check for voltage at the buss bar. Another break point may be the ground wire connection at the frame failed or came undone...

    A multimeter and YouTube are your friends. The reason it’s not working on the electric side could be a bad element, faulty thermostat, failed external mini switch or loose connection at any junction When ours failed it was a failed connection of the hot lead to the external mini switch...
