Trouble with power when connected to truck
When I went to hook up my Reflection 260 RD, one of the electric would not work. Replaced the battery, still not working. The only thing that works are the marker lights (when I open the truck door) and the light inside the battery area. The landing gear won't work, the awning, the interior lights and slide out won't work. GD customer service said to check the 7 pin connectors, but they seem fine.
What am I missing?
ThanksArizonaAJ

The disconnect switch should be in your pass through storage area. If you can remove the key, the battery is disconnected. If the switch is in correct position, are you sure the battery is good?

Sounds like your battery disconnect switch is off. Look in the storage compartment curb side. Red handled switch. If you can pull it out...it's off. Turn it 90 degrees.

Just put a new battery an hour ago. I think you guys are right about the disconnect in the pass thru area.

Put a meter on the battery. For stuff to work it should be at least 12 volts - hopefully a bit more. If not then the battery is too low to work most things - it depends on the voltage of the battery. But to work the jacks the battery has to be rally healthy. Maybe take the battery out and go get it load tested.
Assuming the battery is good....
With the meter still on the battery connect the 7 pin to the truck; start the truck; the voltage at the battery should go up to almost 14volts (from the truck's charging system).
If the voltage doesn't go up when connected to the truck you have some issues with the truck.
If the voltage does go up and your battery is quite healthy then things should work.
If the battery was bad or marginal then it may be a good idea to take it home and put it on a charger until it is healthy again.Larry KE4DMG
