No power to trailer, but I have power to front landing gear?

[cstratton73]

What if I try pulling out all of the fuses, turn the battery disconnect switch on, and then one by one...start installing the fuses until I hear the clicking noise that I believe is coming from the auto reset circuit breakers up front next to the battery?? Do you think that could be a possible way to troubleshoot where the short in the line is? I need to narrow it down to find the short that I believe the trailer has! The battery is good and the disconnect switch is new along the the shortstop auto-reset circuit breakers! What do you think about trying that way?

No it wasn't!

Thanks Chris... I was wondering how you do that!

No problem and good luck. Hope you get it figured out.

Anything new? Did you have your battery disconnected at the terminals during storage. Starting from the beginning. Are you sure you have good shore power, and have you used it before? If your shore power is good it should provided 120VAC to your power converter which in turn will provide 120VAC out through the breakers and 12VDC out through the fuses. The power converter will also provide 12VDC (along with the battery, really like 13.4 VDC to charge your battery).

There have been cases with trailers connected to the wrong shore power where the electrician wires up a 240V dryer plug for the home connection instead of a 120V trailer plug. This would blow the fuses in your power converter and render it inoperable. If the battery connections are good and the the shore power is good you need to measure voltages at the power converter.

A mobile tech might be an option vs the dealer.

Did you install anything while in storage? Screws through walls or floor.

Generally it is something I did that will break something. If trailer is just sitting there it won't break, but shorts can be caused while towing and having the trailer bounce around.

So, basic troubleshooting I would eliminate the easy stuff first. 12 Volt battery, if you had terminals disconnected make sure you connected the negative on battery to the cable that is bolted to the trailer frame. Shore power, better be 120V and not 240V like a dryer plug.

Did the OP get this figured
out? sounds like something that could happen to anyone, maybe me!

So I picked up my trailer out of storage today, drove home and opened the garage down below and turned the battery disconnect switch on to supply power to my trailer, and I got no power to the trailer and heard a clicking noise coming from the area around the battery disconnect switch and it also sounded like it was coming from behind the wall that separates the front storage from the garage area! Since my landing gear worked, but had no power to the rig, I checked all the circuit breakers...none were tripped! Once I turn the battery disconnect switch off, the clicking noise goes away! I went to camping world and bought a new battery disconnect switch, installed it and same problem!! So its not the disconnect switch! I am hooked up to 30amp power and still no power in the trailer...no lights, etc. etc!! What can I check to find the problem...are there relays or hidden circuit breakers behind walls? I have a 2015 303RLS. Need help...thanks!

Check your GFI to see if it’s tripped. Reset the GFI if it’s tripped. A tripped GFI will cause you to have no power!
Good luck...

If there is a wire jumping there is almost definitely a short somewhere. The high current that is causing a relay to "cycle" would literally cause wires to jump.
